Valet, employed in Boca Raton, Fla., crashed a car through a second-floor concrete wall. The vehicle landed in a heap on the sidewalk below. Luckily, no one was injured. According to the report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the attendant reportedly drove the 2001 Lincoln Town Car forward into a red Toyota, and then shifted into reverse and plowed through a retaining wall. The vehicle's owner, who was patiently waiting for the valet to retrieve his Town Car, stepped out of the hotel lobby just as it landed. The valet company supposedly blamed the incident on a stuck throttle.

what's confusing? the valet screwed up and blamed it on the gas pedal like toyota vehicles... probably thought it's a toyota company to get off the hook

Toyota is really getting bad publicity for all this.
Now people are using them as a scape goat.

No, the valet it a moron, and trying to make excuses. There's not way the transmission would go from drive to reverse at high rpms. (high enough that the car blasted through a concrete barrier)
