Your rear passenger-side seat belt became stuck and wouldn't unlatch, trapping your passenger inside. It took two people to help free your passenger, who had to climb over the back seat to escape. In an emergency situation like a fire or accident, this could have been dangerous or life-threatening. The seat belt latch mechanism will likely need to be replaced or repaired by a Toyota dealership.
