The wrongful death suit by Kathleen Vasa, widow of 58-year-old Mark Vasa of Norwell, was filed against Jane Berghold last week. Berghold, a breast cancer patient at the hospital, drove her car into the radiation therapy unit at the hospital on October 15. Vasa, the chief of the unit, and 59-year-old hospital secretary Susan Plante sustained fatal injuries in the accident. Berghold's attorney declined comment to The Enterprise of Brockton. She has said previously that her car didn't stop when she tried to brake. Berghold is scheduled to appear before a clerk magistrate in December to determine if she will be criminally charged. -- The Associated Press Posted by Jack Perry CommentsGreg | October 31, 2007 11:16 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

"She has said previously that her car didn't stop when she tried to brake."
I've noticed that this never seems to happen to people young enough to still have all their faculties. Stepping on the brake and having the car accelerate is a 'malfunction' of the car that only occurs when the elderly are behind the wheel.
I think the auto manufacturers should really look at fixing that problem.
