A man is suing Ford Motor Co. after he was injured in an accident last October in
Arizona. 31-year-old Luis Pena, a U.S. Border Patrol officer, was responding to a narcotics call when his pickup truck began to drift to the right on Federal Route 20. When Mr. Pena tried to straighten the vehicle’s direction, the truck turned sideways and flipped. The roof of the F250 pickup came down on Mr. Pena and trapped him. He is now a quadriplegic. He is suing Ford Motor Co. for the defective and dangerous vehicle. Mr. Pena’s lawyers believe that Ford designed an unstable vehicle and did not inform the public of its known problems.
