Volvo has been found guilty of manslaughter after a French court ruled that the company’s faulty brakes caused a fatal accident in 1999 – which killed two children.

Catherine Kohtz lost control of her Volvo 850 TDI in eastern France and struck the two children, resulting in their deaths. Kohtz received a six-month suspended jail sentence, was fined $446, and her license was suspended for a year. Volvo received a 200,000 euro ($295,640) fine.

A company spokesman told BBC that they were not at fault, saying, “This is a tragic incident for everyone involved. There was no problem with the brakes.
