St. Paul, Minn. — A federal judge has granted a St. Paul man's request to join a civil lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation.

Lawyers for Koua Fong Lee said they expected the ruling after Toyota earlier this week dropped its objections.

Lee, 32, will now be allowed to join a lawsuit filed against the automaker for a fatal 2006 accident.

Lee was driving a 1996 Toyota Camry when he crashed into another car, killing three people.

2. I guess this might be good,

but I think he'd have a better case if he filed his own lawsuit. I suspect that's why the defense dropped their objections.
