  | Ford loses $15 million rollover lawsuit The family of 18-year-old Tyler Moody — who died in the crash of a 1995 Explorer Sport — have been awarded $15 million in a federal lawsuit against Ford. Moody was trapped within the Explorer "and his neck was pushed into his chest by the intruding roof at a precipitous angle." The parents and their lawyer say the Explorer's roof was unacceptably weak. Attorney Clark Brewster told the jury Monday that the roof of the Explorer collapsed during a "relatively slow, easy roll." He aid the roof's structure was made of "spindly little pieces of metal engineered down to an unacceptable level to save money." An accident reconstruction expert says Moody was traveling at about 67 mph through a curve where the speed limit was 50 mph and the advised speed for the bend was 30 mph.
