“Mr. Waltz said data captured by the car indicated that the brakes and accelerator were depressed about 250 different times during the incident.”
Sounds like the guy tried the break — I don’t think this is evidence that he was lying.
There is not a car made where the brakes are not capable of stopping the vehicle even at full throttle. Especially an underpowered car like the Prius.
This guy was trying to get rich off of a big name. Hopefully, he'll be arrested and tried for scamming the 911 system instead.
