The Toyota Prius involved in a Harrison, New York, crash attributed to unintended acceleration showed no sign that the brakes were applied, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

The vehicle�s onboard computer system also showed the car�s accelerator was engaged, NHTSA said today in an e-mailed statement.

�Information retrieved from the vehicle�s onboard computer systems indicated there was no application of the brakes and the throttle was fully open,� the Washington-based auto safety watchdog said in the statement.

The 2005 Prius had sped out of control before hitting a stone wall in a March 9 accident. NHTSA said on March 11 it would send investigators to look at the car.

    If I recall correctly, the driver was a seasoned citizen.

    Please file charges against this fraud of a person, so what that she was a female individual.

    Did the driver get a speeding ticket yet?
