On January 29th, 2022, the driver of a 2018 Dodge Charger blew through a red light and smashed into a Toyota Sienna. A total of nine people died including seven in the minivan and both occupants of the Charger. Now, the NTSB suggests that automakers install tech that inhibits a driver’s ability to speed.
The driver of that Dodge Charger was 59-year-old Gary Dean Robinson, a man with a history of speeding tickets. Incidentally, he also happened to have cocaine and phencyclidine in his system at the time of the crash.
