pdk9 said:Honestly, if I were involved in a similar accident, I would've preferred the older CVPI over the NGPI...the vics were built like tanks
Nitsua98 said:Uh, no. The Crown Vic's were notorious for being extremely unsafe in a high speed rear end collision. The new ones are designed to take a hit from that speed.
Take a look at Vic in this video that was rear ended at highway speed. Not a safe place to be:
CHIEFOPS said:Horse hockey. The number of Crown Vics that actually caught fire from rear end hits were minimal, and the attributed design element was addressed over 10 years ago with retrofits and production line assembly part re-design.

CHIEFOPS said:Over the course of only 12 years there were 5 M-Bodies, not 7, and at any 1 time only 3 were in production. With Chrysler and GM out of the mix by 1997, the Panther was disproportionately the most common full size sedan in service, and the CVPI was the most exposed to the type of collision that could result in fires.
Lodi teacher charged in Route 46 wreck that critically injured police officer | NJ.comNJ.com said:County Police Officer Daniel Breslin underwent surgery with a fractured skull and bleeding after the wreck, reported shortly before 2 a.m. on the highway’s westbound lanes, according to Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli.
Breslin, a 39-year-old married father of two, remained in "very critical" condition with a severe head injury at Hackensack University Medical Center Saturday afternoon, said Bergen County Police Capt. James Mullin.
vonirkinshtine said:Good lord, arguing about the CVPI's "tendency towards exploding" is beating a dead horse! Seriously! Have they caught fire? Yes. Do they have a 20 gal gas tank immediately in front of the rear axle? Yes. Have officers died? Yes. Have officers survived seemingly fatal crashes? Also yes!
Can we get back to the topic and be concerned for the officer who was involved in the original crash?
