Deputy’s Crown Victoria explosion raises questions
By Dan Lauck / 11 News KHOU-TV
A fiery crash could raise more safety questions about the controversial Crown Victoria police cruiser after a Fort Bend County deputy watched his vehicle go up in flames.
It exploded after a high-speed rear-end collision this weekend on Highway 6 near Bissonnet.
Pictures are reminiscent of past problems with the popular police cruiser.
"You’d think with red lights flashing all over, the guy would have seen it," says Sid McArthur.

U.S. Court Rejects Tire Safety Rule
8/7/02
By DANNY HAKIM
A panel of three federal judges rejected a proposed tire safety regulation yesterday, saying it allowed for too much error.
Two Bush administration agencies have disagreed over how to satisfy a Congressional demand to install tire pressure monitoring systems in cars and light trucks.
One agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, was to come up with a rule to comply with the Tread Act, a law passed in 2000 in the wake of the deadly rollover problems experienced by Ford Explorers equipped with Firestone tires.
