A woman who died in a Los Angeles-area car crash last September was the eighth person killed by exploding air bags made by Takata Corp., U.S. safety regulators and Honda Motor Co. confirmed June 19.
The woman was identified in a lawsuit as Jewel Brangman, 26. She died from neck and head injuries when the driver's air bag in her rented 2001 Honda Civic inflated with too much force and spewed metal shrapnel.
Honda and Takata offered condolences to the Brangman family. (AP)
