Ford settles lawsuit involving fatal Escape crash
Posted: 10/02/2012
The ABC Investigators have new information involving a Ford Escape crash that killed a 17-year-old from Payson .
Ford has settled a lawsuit with the family of the girl, Saige Bloom. Details of the settlement are confidential.
Bloom was driving a 2002 Escape when it accelerated out of control and crashed.
The ABC15 Investigators aired a series of reports about complaints of stuck throttles and acceleration issues all involving 2001 through 2004 Escapes over the last decade.
It became a story with national implications. Ford recalled 485,000 Escapes from those years.
The National Highway Safety Administration is still investigating that recall.
