Toyota settles first death case

Car giant Toyota said it had settled the first of hundreds of lawsuits claiming that deaths and injuries were caused by problems of sudden acceleration in its vehicles.

A Toyota spokeswoman said the company reached the agreement in the wrongful death case brought by the family of Paul Van Alfen and Charlene Jones Lloyd, who were killed when their Toyota Camry slammed into a wall in Utah in 2010.
