The much-anticipated congressional hearings over the Toyota recalls began this week with testimony from Sevier County resident Rhonda Smith. Her emotional story of an out-of-control car and what she thought would be her last moments on earth drew a personal apology from the Toyoda family and garnered outrage for her from many Americans.

Rhonda Smith, along with 6 News reporter Don Dare, who chronicled her harrowing experience back in 2007, join Gene Patterson in the first segment.

Then, Knox County Commissioner Dr. Richard Briggs describes how area doctors and nurses are still providing aid to the victims of the Haitian earthquake. Dr. Briggs just returned from Haiti a week or so ago.

In the Final Word segment, 6 News political analyst George Korda and 6 News political reporter Harlow Sumerford talk about Harlow's two-part report on the gubernatorial campaigns of Republicans Bill Haslam and Zach Wamp.

Come on Don Dare that Lexus has been driven 27000 miles with no trouble sense it was resold.
You did not mention that fact on the air.
