BloodRed Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Sorry for the loss. I hate to ask but I am guessing they were driving a Crown Vic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yes, OSP does use crown vics. I believe it was the year 2000 crown vics that had problems with fuel systems. They were actually KNOWN to catch fire if hit from the rear end If you look in the trunks of the cars, they have a fuel pump shut off system. This system is suppose to kill the fuel system in event of being hit from the rear end. Quote http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/Ford_Crown_Victoria """"""Ford Crown Victoria Fires The popular Ford Crown Victoria model has been linked to hundreds of fires that have resulted in the deaths of police officers and civilians. The Crown Victoria's gas tank sticks up in the trunk area making these cars susceptible to fires when they are involved in rear end crashes. The Crown Victoria along with two other Ford Vehicles, the Lincoln Town Car and Grand Marquis, are the only American-made automobiles that have gas tanks located behind the rear axle. The controversy surrounding the Crown Victoria surfaced in 2002 when reports implicated the car in the death of approximately 12 police officers. All of these police officers died after being involved in rear end crashes that caused their vehicles to burst into flames. In response to these fires, Ford installed rubber and plastic shields to cover sharp parts around the fuel tank of the Crown Victoria police car to help minimize punctures and fires. These shields are now standard equipment in police cars but these important safety features are not included in the civilian versions of these cars. As a result, thousands of civilian Crown Victoria drivers remain at great risk because Ford refuses to provide these shields for non-police vehicles. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective Ford Crown Victoria, please fill out the form at the right for a free lawsuit case evaluation by a qualified product liability attorney."""""""""

dragknee66 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 The funeral Sunday was quite amazing. Probably 200+ officers and at least over 100 cruisers.. The drive to the grave site was about 16 miles of every car running lights, and not a single civilian vehicle was moving the entire time (EVERYTHING was blocked off). Was deffinately one of the most amazing and yet sad things Ive ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, she pulled out of the school in front of them? http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/state/15637201.htm A witness reported hearing a siren just before the crash, according to a news release from the highway patrol. Investigators don't know yet if the officers were responding to a call. So, look and listen, just like they taught you in drivers ed. The cars were "Charred and mangled", so you know that the officers were going along at a good clip. I wonder why the SHP isn't releasing the details of the accident, it seems like this would be a good poster for "look the hell out for lights and sirens". Another, with some pics: http://www.newsnet5.com/news/9955445/detail.html http://www.newsnet5.com/2006/0928/9958039_320X240.jpg This wasn't no 50mph crash, and it does look alot like those rear impact fires that were posted further up. The vic looks newer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragknee66 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 It was an 05 model vic, and yes they are making sure they get their details rite before releasing any info to the media. This is OSP were talking about, they are masters of fine details (actually have one of the best highway patrols in the country). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
