Texas jury clears Yamaha in Rhino rollover case
The Texas jury that heard the first case against Yamaha and its popular Rhino, an all-terrain vehicle that consumer groups and safety advocates claim is highly unstable and deadly, ruled in the manufacturer’s favor last week. The case was brought to court by the parents of Forrest “Eddie” Ray, a 13-year-old boy who was killed in 2007 when the Rhino he was driving flipped.
