Toyota ordered to pay $11 million in U.S. trial over fatal crash

A U.S. jury on Tuesday ordered Toyota Motor Corp to pay nearly $11 million after finding that an accelerator defect in a 1996 Camry was at fault for a 2006 fatal car crash in Minnesota. Koua Fong Lee, the Camry’s driver, was found 40 percent responsible, according to lawyers. Toyota denied that the car was at fault, and said the driver had been negligent. A spokeswoman for Toyota, Amanda Rice, said it was weighing its legal options.
