The Dangers Of Religion

"Mark Saylor, 45, died alongside his wife Cleofe, also 45, their daughter Mahala, 13, and Mrs Saylor’s brother Chris Lastrella when the hired Toyota Lexus they were travelling in accelerated out of control on a highway in San Diego."

The Saylors were a beautiful family, pillars of society and very religious.
The well-documented tragedy unfolded when the car mat in Saylor's car apparently jammed the accelerator pedal and he was unable to stop, even with heavy braking. One occupant phoned 911 in a vain attempt to get advice on what to do to bring the car to a halt. In the recorded conversation, Saylor made the ultimate decision after accepting that there was no other option to save himself and his family but pray. His final words were, "Hold on and pray".

God must have been somewhere else at the time (probably busy dropping pianos) and didn't hear one of his loyal follower's calls for help.....the family perished as the car ran out of freeway and crashed.
The point is that a floor mat jammed under an accelerator pedal can be easily remedied with a bit of clear logic and reasoning. Apparently, Toyota acknowledged the faulty mats, however, many other similar instances were reported where the accelerator jammed and the drivers in those cases worked out how to save themselves (place the selector in "N" and switch off the engine). 
So, here we have a prime example of being deluded to the extent that the only solution was to pray.
Did religion kill this family?
