[–] jjtheblunt 6y ago ↗ Title might add 2002 model year Lexus which moved in its parking space. [–] dharmab 6y ago ↗ And that Lexus did not offer remote start on that model, so this car was clearly modified.

[–] booi 6y ago ↗ Sounds like a third party remote start was installed which doesn’t have the same guarantees.. like ensuring the car is in park..
[–] [dead] dsprt4cultr 6y ago ↗ This is a non-story. A 2002 Model Year Lexus IS was probably manual, and the owner had an aftermarket remote starter installed.As anyone knows, the starter motor for a car (almost any motor) has an unbelievable amount of torque.That coupled with a MANUAL transmission, likely in first gear (parked) - caused the car to lurch forward.Freak accident, but really just a whole bunch of stupid.

[–] exabrial 6y ago ↗ Can we changed Title to "Man killed by after market modification to car after remote start" or something, not "Lexus"
