SAN DIEGO: Investigators with Toyota Motor Corp. and the federal government were unable to make a Toyota Prius speed out of control as its owner said it did on a California freeway, according to a memorandum obtained Saturday by The Associated Press that a congressional spokesman says casts doubt on the driver’s story.
James Sikes, 61, called police Monday to report losing control of his Prius as the hybrid reached speeds of 94 mph (151 kph). A California Highway Patrol officer helped Sikes bring the vehicle to a safe stop on Interstate 8 near San Diego.
