Listen: 911 Tapes of Kentucky Mother In Alleged Runaway SUV

June 15, 2010 — -- A Kentucky woman claims her Chevy SUV began to accelerate uncontrollably on Interstate 64 in late May, and 911 audiotapes document a nearly 40-mile journey down a rain-slicked highway at speeds up to 90 miles per hour as state troopers and 911 operators help the apparently terrified driver bring her vehicle to a stop. Neither Marlene Taylor nor her three-year-old twins, who were riding in the back seat of the 2008 Equinox, were injured in the almost half-hour incident, which was reported by Louisville, Kentucky ABC affiliate WHAS.

But General Motors conducted a test of the Taylor vehicle, and says that it found no sign of wear on her brakes despite the length of the incident, nor any sign of an electronic error code.

Taylor, according to her lawyer, claimed that the runaway episode began when she shifted her Equinox into cruise control on I-64 just outside Lexington on June 7. She said the car began to accelerate to 95 miles per hour.

Attorney William McMurry said that Taylor called 911 when she couldn't stop the car from accelerating, and that she tried to comply when the 911 operator told her to apply the brakes, turn the keys to off, and shift the car into neutral.

"She couldn't get the brake to work," McMurry told WHAS. "Nothing would work. She couldn't put it in neutral. This is a very intelligent woman. She followed the directions and they simply didn't work."

Taylor can be heard on the 911 tapes saying, "Oh my god, I can't stop," and honking her horn at cars in front of her. She can also be heard saying to her children, "Oh babies, I love you so much."
