Brakes applied at 45 mph, vsc activated, rear brakes locked on and would not release. Vehicle was driven to a safe location off the highway and was transported to owners home via flatbed. The rear brakes were very hot and grabbing as I exited the highway. The parking brake light in the console lit. And the audio beeper sounded continuously. Incident was reported to the Toyota dealer. They did not request to inspect the vehicle.
