Crash safety attorney drops lawsuit against Toyota:

Dallas attorney Todd Tracy, who filed a lawsuit in September to reopen



17 cases filed by vehicle accident victims against Toyota, is dropping the matter.

The Tracy Firm released a statement saying a review of internal Toyota documents did not reveal ?any type of concealment, destruction, or pattern of discovery abuse,?



In September, Tracy had filed suit in the Eastern District of Texas to determine if a whistle blower and former Toyota in-house counselor possessed documents that could prove Toyota had information that it withheld from car accident victims when they sued the company in at least 300 separate civil suits. He obtained an order to inspect the records and petitioned to reopen at least 17 of the cases.



In the statement released Thursday, Tracy said although he is dropping this suit, the issue isn't completely dead.
