The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that Wanda Lopes – Colemon is taking the automaker to court after her daughter, Left Eye of the best-selling group TLC, was killed when her Montero flipped over in the Honduras.
An attorney representing Colemon cited a 2001 Consumer Reports review that rated the Montero Limited “not acceptable” due to its tendency to roll over.
Lopes and members of her entourage were filming for a possible DVD just before impact as they drove down a two-lane highway.
The camera captured something in the road and Lopes swerving to miss it, causing the SUV to flip at least two times.
