End of Watch: Thursday, May 22, 2003

Trooper Newton was killed when his patrol car, a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, was struck from behind while he was making a traffic stop on the shoulder of I-70 near Odessa, Missouri at 0700 hours. The patrol car burst into flames upon impact and Trooper Newton was trapped inside. The driver of the vehicle he had stopped and the driver of the truck that struck his patrol car were both injured in the accident.

I thought they had a recall and fixed this problem.

Gil:

Athol, MA is running 2 marked Intrepids on their front line.

I happened to take an Impala for a spin during EVOC at Devens. I was impressed by the way the car handled. The unit I drove did not have an MDT, but add that computer and it would be really tight inside. I also believe the Chevy has more leg-room in the prisoner area compared to the Crown Vics.
