(Reuters) - A federal investigation of the Toyota Prius involved in a dramatic incident on a California highway last week found a pattern of wear on the car\'s brakes that raises questions about the driver\'s account of the event, the Wall Street Journal said in its online edition on Sunday.

U.S.

The driver, James Sikes, called 911 and told the operator his Prius had sped up to more than 90 miles per hour on its own, on Interstate 8 near San Diego. During and after the incident, 61-year-old Sikes told authorities he had used heavy pressure on his brake pedal at high speeds, the WSJ site said.

But the investigation of the vehicle, carried out jointly by safety officials ... didn\'t find signs the brake had been applied at full force at high speeds over a sustained period of time, the Journal said, citing three people familiar with the investigation.
