Factors to be consider on Wheels Specs
Wheels specs play a very important role to buyers before making decision to purchase a vehicle. This information can be search either through the newspapaer, magazines and internet exploration. Below are the detail steps to ensure on the wheels specs which will lead to a tip top condition and mantenance action.

Centerbore and Hubcentric Rings
This refers to the center bore in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. If there is a vibration problem, it is recommended that you use hub centric rings. Hub rings are hard plastic rings that link the wheel to the vehicle. This centers the wheel and makes your wheel hub centric. Without hub rings it is possible to get vibrations even if the wheel and tire package is completely balanced.
Wheel Offset
The wheel offset is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. There are three types of offsets.
Positive Offset
A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the wheel. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.
Zero Offset
When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset.
Negative Offset
If the hub mounting surface is on the brake side of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset or "deep dish".
Bolt Patterns
A wheel's bolt-circle-diameter is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the center of the wheel's mounting-bolt holes. Different vehicle makes and models have varying bolt patterns.
If the pattern has an even number of mounting holes (four, six or eight lugs) simply measure from the center of one stud hole directly across the center of the wheel to the center of an opposite stud hole.
With a five-lug pattern, measure from the center of one stud hole to the center of the farthest stud hole, skipping the adjacent hole. The resulting measurement is slightly smaller than the actual bolt-circle diameter.
For example, a vehicle with a bolt pattern of (5 x 120) means this vehicle's hub has five bolts or lugs, which measure 120 millimeters apart from one another diagonally. Below is a chart on how to measure bolt patterns. Wheelfire.com has a fitment program that calculates this for you.
Wheel Fitment
WheelFire has pioneered a fitment program that ensures a 100% proper fit for your vehicle. Our staff is constantly at work making sure wheel specifications are compatible with your vehicle. If you have any upgraded brakes or suspensions please contact our staff before you order.
Plus Sizing
Plus sizing your wheel and tire package is intended to enhance vehicle performance and looks by allowing fitment of larger diameter rims and lower profile tires. The idea is that while making these changes, you keep the overall tire diameter within 3% of the original equipment. If you exceed 3% you open the door to lots of other problems.
Wheel Care
Always keep your wheels clean at all times this way you can protect your investment. Don’t let dust or dirt sit on your wheels this might destroy the finish. Never use steam cleaners or automatic car washes; they can damage your wheels. The best product to use is a mild soap, cleaning one wheel at a time. Rinse immediately, this way you don’t get a soap scum buildup. Always wait until your wheels are cool before cleaning them. After the wheels are clean and dry you may add a very light coat of wheel wax to protect your wheels from the elements.
Torque
Always use a torque wrench when installing your wheels, it's important to torque the lugs properly. Wheels are frequently over-torqued onto a vehicle's hub bore, which can lead to brake problems or even the lugs breaking right off the wheel.
The best way to torque your wheels is by hand, using a torque wrench. Your owner's manual contains the optimal torque specifications for your vehicle. Always re-torque after your first 50 miles.
Wheel Construction
Most alloy wheels are made in one, two or three piece construction types. One piece is a wheel made in a mold as a single piece of metal. Two piece wheels are made of two separate pieces center and barrel that are usually welded or bolted together. Three piece wheels are made of three separate pieces bolted together.
Wheels are manufactured in a variety of ways: Forging, Low pressure Casting and Counter pressure Casting.
Forging
This is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an extreme amount of pressure. This creates a finished product that is very dense, very strong and therefore very light.
Low Pressure Casting
This is the most common form of rim manufacturing. Liquid metal is poured into a mold and allowed to harden until the finished wheel is cool enough to be taken out of the casting.
Counter Pressure Casting
This method actually sucks the metal into a mold using a vacuum. This reduces impurities making the wheel much stronger than a low pressure cast rim.

Car Specifications
Have you decided on a specific make of vehicle to purchase but you can’t seem to make up your mind about which trim level to choose. Many cars come in at least two trim levels and some cars or trucks come in more than two trim levels. Even though you have narrowed down your decision to a specific make, you may find yourself overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the trim level of a vehicle. Sometimes your budget determines the trim level, but sometimes one’s budget may not be the defining factor. To fully address the issue it becomes necessary to review the specs of each trim level. You can see which trim level is the base level, which trim levels are considered upgrades and what each level of trim offers in terms of features simply by reviewing the car or truck’s specs. Find out everything you need to know instantly and make your buying decision that much easier.

Facts you need to know about Vehicle License Plate
Here's my view that i have collected, compose and edited from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the true meaning of vehicle license plate.
By Saudi, 28.10.2009
A vehicle registration plate is a metal or plastic plate attached to a motor vehicle or trailer for official identification purposes. The registration identifier is a numeric or alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies the vehicle within the issuing region's database. In some countries, the identifier is unique within the entire country, while in others it is unique within a state or province. Whether the identifier is associated with a vehicle or a person also varies by issuing agency. Depending on the country, the vehicle registration plate may be called a licence plate (in British English), a license plate (in American English), a number plate, or a tag.
As it is a legal requirements of any country in the whole world therefore most goverments require a registration plate to be attached to both the front and rear of a vehicle, although certain jurisdictions or vehicle types, such as motorcycles, require only one plate, which is usually attached to the rear of the vehicle. National databases relate this number to other information describing the vehicle, such as the make, model, color, year of manufacture, engine size, type of fuel used and mileage recorded during the vehicles annual (or bi-annual) road worthiness test, Vehicle identification (Chassis) Number and the name and address of the vehicle's registered owner or keeper.
In some jurisdictions plates will be permanently assigned to that particular vehicle for its lifetime. Some countries permit the re-registration of the vehicle with "personal" ("vanity" or "Cherished Mark") plates. When the vehicle is destroyed or exported to a different country it will require re-registering in the country of import. China requires the re-registration of any vehicle that crosses its borders from another country, such as for overland tourist visits, regardless of the amount of time it is due to remain there; this has to be arranged with prior approval.
Licence plates have been around almost as long as automobiles, appearing in the earliest period of the transition from the horse, 1890 to 1910. France was the first to introduce a license plate, in 1893, followed by Germany in 1896. [1] The Netherlands were the first to introduce a national licence plate, called a "driving permit", in 1898. The first licences were plates with a number, starting at 1. By 8 August, 1899 the counter was at 168. When the Netherlands chose a different way to number the plates on 15 January, 1906 the last issued plate was 2065.
Earlier plates varied in size and shape from one jurisdiction to the next, such that if one moved, new holes would need to be drilled into the bumper to support the new plate. Standardization of plates came in 1957, when automobile manufacturers came to agreement with governments and international standards organizations. While peculiar local variants still exist, there are three basic standards worldwide.
520 mm by 110 or 120 mm (20.5 by 4.5 inches) - in the bulk of European countries and many of their former overseas territories.
372 mm by 135 mm (14.5 by 5.3 inches) - in Australia and some other Pacific Rim countries, about halfway between the dimensions of the other two standards, longer than Western Hemisphere plates but taller than European ones.
12 by 6 inches (300 mm by 150 mm) - in the majority of the Americas.

World's largest rocket launch by NASA...
edited by Saudi Ali 27.10.2009
(CNN) -- NASA is set to launch the world's largest rocket Tuesday,
conducting research to help return astronauts to the moon.
The 327-foot rocket, called the Ares I-X, is set to launch at 8 a.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA said. The empty rocket will help NASA collect information for future missions.
"Ares I-X will bring NASA one step closer to its exploration goals to return to the moon for ambitious exploration," NASA said in statement.
The launch, which NASA is calling a test, is among four test launches of Ares I-X that will go on until 2012.
The space agency hopes the rocket eventually will replace the aging space shuttle and conduct voyages to the moon and Mars.
NASA researchers have said that a trip to the moon could not happen before 2015.
The launch comes at a critical time, when NASA is waiting for President Obama to decide future funding for the agency.
An independent committee reviewing the future of space flight recently reported that the U.S. space program appears to be pursuing goals that exceed current funding.
The committee also recommended to the White House that funding for NASA's under-construction international space station should be extended until 2020.
Though the launch of Ares I-X is scheduled for early Tuesday, weather could cause the space agency to delay.
Late Monday, the agency said it had a 40 percent chance at launch because of bad weather. If weather conditions do not improve, NASA will launch Wednesday.

15 to 20 killed in train collided in Egypt....
Trains collide in Egypt, killing up to 20
October 24, 2009 -- Updated by: Saudi Ali
Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Between 15 and 20 people died when two trains collided outside of Cairo, Egypt, Saturday night, and officials expect the death toll to rise, the country's Health Ministry said.
Another 40 to 50 people were injured when one train traveling from Cairo to Asyut crashed into a train en route from Giza to Fayyoum, Deputy to the Health Ministry Mohammed Sarhan told state-run Nile News TV. The Fayyoum-bound train was stationary when it was struck in Al-Ayyat district, he said.
The collision occured in Kafr Girza, a village in Al-Ayyat district of October 6th province, Nile News TV reported. Al-Ayyat is about 70 km (40 miles) south of Cairo.
The wreck's location posed a problem for emergency personnel, Sarhan said, because the site is next to a canal. Security forces used tree trunks and branches to create a bridge to the dead and injured. Some bodies were recovered from beneath the trains, he said.
People were still trapped beneath the wreckage late Saturday, Nile News TV reported. Some of the dead were found buried under the trains, Sarhan said.
Eighty ambulances were sent to the scene to transport the injured to local hospitals, government spokesman Ahmed Rady said in a statement.
The Transportation Ministry has ordered an investigation, Rady said. Government investigators are searching for the train's recorders, reported the country's official news agency, MENA.
Egyptian National Railways also launched an investigation into the collision of their trains, MENA said.
The governor of October 6th province ordered that families of the victims recieve compensation, MENA reported. The Egyptian government has issued compensation to families of train crash fatalities and to those injured in crashes in the past.
Train disasters in Egypt over the past 12 years have killed hundreds.
In August 2006 at least 57 people died and 128 were injured when two passenger trains collided and burst into flames in Qalyoubiya Province, just north of Cairo. A month later three people died and 24 were injured when a cargo train collided with a passenger train in the same area.
More than 370 people died in February 2002 when a fire broke out near the rear of a passenger train en route to Luzzur from Cairo. At least 44 passengers died when they leapt from the burning cars while the train was still moving.

Door of Airbus A320 carrying 147 passenger was standing open......
Heated discussion over airline policy and lost of situational awareness lead to Airbus A320 overshot from the runaway by 150 miles.
edited and updated by: Saudi 24.10.2009
(CNN) -- Police met a wayward jet that overshot the runway by 150
miles -- while not responding to control tower communications -- and said the pilots were "cooperative, apologetic and appreciative."
Authorities are reviewing the plane's cockpit voice recorder as well as its flight data recorder.
Authorities are reviewing the plane's cockpit voice recorder as well as its flight data recorder.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul [Minnesota] Airport Police report on the incident, released Friday, said officers asked flight attendants to keep passengers in their seats while they checked out the cockpit, where, they said, "the door was standing open."
The police report identified the pilot as Timothy B. Cheney and the first officer as Richard I. Cole.
"The pilot ... indicated they had become involved in conversation and had not heard radio communications," the report said. "They indicated there had been no involvement from anyone in the cabin."
"Both volunteered to a preliminary breath test with the result being .000 for both parties," the report said.
The lead flight attendant, the report said, told officers that she was unaware there had been an incident aboard.
Northwest Flight 188 -- carrying 144 people and five crew members -- flew past the Minneapolis airport during a mysterious 78 minutes of radio silence beginning about 7:56 p.m. ET Wednesday night.
Don't Miss
The Airbus A320 was carrying 147 passengers and an unknown number of crew members, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
Air traffic controllers re-established radio contact after the plane had flown about 150 miles past its destination. Video Watch how Flight 188 drama unfolded »
The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the incident, is hoping the plane's cockpit voice recorder will either confirm the pilot's account or provide evidence of another possible explanation, including whether the captain and first officer had fallen asleep.
However, approached outside his home Friday, the first officer told CNN affiliate KGW that "nobody was asleep in the cockpit and no arguments took place." Cole was referring to NTSB's earlier statement that said, "The crew stated they were in a heated discussion over airline policy and they lost situational awareness."
"There's a lot of misinterpretation going on," Cole said, though he refused to comment further.
The voice recorder is capable of recording only 30 minutes of audio, federal accident investigators said Friday. The plane was in the air for another 45 minutes after radio contact was restored, meaning that if the recorder was working properly, anything the pilots would have said during the time they were not answering radio calls would have been recorded over.
But a former accident investigator told CNN the voice recorder may still provide valuable information, because the pilots could have discussed the earlier events on the way back to Minneapolis.
The separate flight data recorder also could prove valuable because it would have recorded actions taken by the pilots during the 78 minutes they did not respond to repeated calls from air traffic controllers, the former accident investigator said.
The safety board said Friday afternoon that experts were reviewing the solid-state voice recorder. It said only that the recorder "captured a portion of the flight that is being analyzed," and added there would be no further comment.Video Watch as former NTSB official calls long silence "unacceptable" »
Meanwhile, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which scrambled fighter jets for the wayward plane did not launch them, said it was reviewing procedures for launching the fighters to track potentially hijacked or suspicious aircraft.
At issue, according to a senior U.S. official directly familiar with the timeline of the incident, is the FAA's apparent delay in notifying NORAD that the Northwest jet was not in contact with controllers.
The official, who declined to be identified because both the military and the FAA are reviewing the entire incident, said that the FAA's request for military involvement came after the plane passed the Minneapolis airport. NORAD scrambled fighter jets at two locations. But as they approached the runway for takeoff, the FAA reported being back in contact with the Northwest flight, and the fighters stayed on the ground.
"My real question is why we did not know of the 'radio out' situation from the FAA sooner," the officials said. "The FAA is also looking into that," the official told CNN.
Since the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, NORAD has regularly launched fighter jets to track aircraft in unusual situations such as when they deviate from flight plans, lose radio contact or enter restricted airspace.
According to a second U.S. official, NORAD is in constant contact with the FAA so it can respond when situations arise.
Reported instances of two pilots falling asleep are rare. In August, the safety board concluded its investigation into a February 13, 2008, incident in which two pilots aboard a Go airlines flight fell asleep and traveled 26 miles beyond the destination of Hilo, Hawaii, before waking and contacting air traffic controllers.
Northwest Airlines is part of Delta Air Lines, which issued a statement Thursday, saying it is "cooperating with the FAA and NTSB in their investigation, as well as conducting our own internal investigation. The pilots have been relieved from active flying pending the completion of these investigations."
It said Flight 188 landed safely in Minneapolis just after 9 p.m.
Delta suffered another major embarrassment this week when a Delta pilot landed a passenger jet on a taxiway at Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport instead of the runway. The NTSB is investigating that case as well.

Auto consultant says US auto sales outlook rosier
DETROIT — An automotive consulting firm is raising its forecast for 2010 U.S. auto sales, saying improved employment and auto lending numbers should translate to higher sales.
CSM Worldwide raised its forecast Wednesday to 11.8 million vehicles from 11.2 million vehicles. Sales at that rate would represent the first year-over-year increase in U.S. vehicle sales since 2005, when automakers sold 16.9 million vehicles.
CSM said it expects unemployment to peak in the first quarter of next year, then slowly improve throughout the year. Consumer confidence will grow as household finances and auto lending show improvement by the third quarter, the Northville-based company said.
By the fourth quarter, CSM forecasts the annualized vehicle selling rate will be 13.6 million vehicles. That rate shows what sales would be if they continued at the same pace for a full year.
CSM's U.S. sales forecast for 2009 remains unchanged at 10.1 million units, down 23 percent from 2008.

CSM Worldwide raised its forecast Wednesday to 11.8 million vehicles from 11.2 million vehicles. Sales at that rate would represent the first year-over-year increase in U.S. vehicle sales since 2005, when automakers sold 16.9 million vehicles.
CSM said it expects unemployment to peak in the first quarter of next year, then slowly improve throughout the year. Consumer confidence will grow as household finances and auto lending show improvement by the third quarter, the Northville-based company said.
By the fourth quarter, CSM forecasts the annualized vehicle selling rate will be 13.6 million vehicles. That rate shows what sales would be if they continued at the same pace for a full year.
CSM's U.S. sales forecast for 2009 remains unchanged at 10.1 million units, down 23 percent from 2008.

Plug-In Cars Are Almost Here, but Charging Stations Lag
edited By : Saudi Ali 22.10.2009
DETROIT — Even though several automakers plan to begin selling electric vehicles next year, their sales may be limited by the lack of a national infrastructure to support them, speakers at a conference here on plug-in cars said on Wednesday.
Utilities that serve most of the nation’s electricity customers said they were aware of the issue, and would take several steps, including working to help develope plans for charging stations, and would use battery-powered vehicles themselves.
Among the biggest challenges for automakers is overcoming consumers’ fears of becoming stranded with a dead battery — what the industry calls “range anxiety.”
“This isn’t just an experiment for us,” said William Clay Ford Jr., Ford Motor’s executive chairman. “We can provide the vehicles; we can provide the hardware. But we cannot unilaterally solve all of the national issues.”
Though automakers are testing numerous propulsion technologies, including hydrogen fuel cells, batteries are seen as the most promising near-term answer for reducing oil imports and emissions. President Obama has called for a million plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles to be on the nation’s highways by 2015.
To encourage adoption of electric vehicles, charging stations that follow a nationwide standard eventually will be needed at every shopping mall, parking garage and apartment building and at countless other locations, said Anthony F. Earley Jr., the chief executive of DTE Energy in Detroit.
“The beauty of electricity is it’s already there,” said Mr. Earley, who also is chairman of the Edison Electric Institute, which represents publicly traded utility companies in the United States. “If we change the building codes to say every time you build an apartment building, build in a charging station, that is not a large cost, as opposed to telling every gas station to put in a hydrogen tank just in case we might need hydrogen later on. So we’ve kind of got a jump-start.”
Among the issues that utilities hope to address are how to keep electric vehicles from overloading the electrical system, especially as their numbers grow.
“The last thing you want is millions of electric vehicles plugged in at 5 o’clock on a hot summer afternoon when the grid is already being taxed,” Mr. Earley said.
Ford is one of several carmakers with concrete plans for electric vehicles in the near future. It intends to start selling a battery-powered version of its Transit Connect commercial van next year, followed by an electric Ford Focus sedan in 2011 and other plug-in vehicles in later years.
Nissan is introducing its electric car, the Leaf, to businesses next year and to consumers by 2012. General Motors plans to sell its Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in vehicle with a range-extending gasoline engine, late next year.
Once an infrastructure starts to develop, electric vehicles are expected to grow in popularity — not just because of their environmental benefits, but also because they cost less to operate than a gas-powered vehicle.
“The price in the future is going to be cents per mile, said Tom Kuhn, the Edison Electric Institute’s president. “It’s not miles per gallon.”

Global energy market sales for natural gas vehicles......
This is the latest news on Energy Resources from all over the world.

edited by: Saudi
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Sales for natural gas vehicles are forecast to pass 3 million worldwide for the first time by 2015 with growth from the U.S. market, a research report said.
Global energy market research firm Pike Research in its latest report on clean energy predicts the number of natural gas vehicles on the road worldwide should increase from 9.7 million in 2008 to 17 million by 2015.
The report recognizes the presence of natural gas vehicles on the market currently but said the fuel technology is not embraced globally because of the lack of refueling station infrastructure.
Dave Hurst, an industry analyst contributing to Pike Research's clean transportation practice, said the technology could see growth in the corporate and government fleets.
"Governments, fleet managers, and consumers are increasingly recognizing the environmental benefits of lower emissions from natural gas vehicles," he said.
The report noted that Central Asia and Latin America are strong markets for natural gas vehicles currently, though the United States and Canada might see rapid growth.
Pike Research said it anticipates growing acceptance of natural gas vehicles as governments move on energy security and climate change legislation, with a 5.5 percent increase in sales by 2015.

Miracles for 2 children in 3 vehicles crash
2 children ejected, hurt in 3-vehicle crash
By Saudi
The Facts
Miracles could be anywhere and in whatever condition and this is what really happened to 2 children involved in a vehicles crash saved without anylife treathening injuries.
Published October 18, 2009
ANGLETON — Two children were ejected from a vehicle in a three-car crash at the intersection of Loop 274 and Wilkins Drive near the Brazoria County Courthouse on Saturday afternoon.
The children were taken by medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston as a precaution, Angleton Police Department Cpl. John Delgado said. The children were alert and talking and, “did not appear to have life-threatening injuries,” Delgado said.
Occupants of all three vehicles were from Angleton and police did not have ages Saturday afternoon.
At about 2:40 p.m. Saturday, a Chrysler Pacifica driven north on Loop 274 by Margaret Luna apparently failed to stop at a traffic light, Angleton officer Janet Heckler said. The Pacifica struck the side of a Chevrolet Tahoe driven west on Wilkins, across Loop 274, by Eloy Guerrero, Delgado said.
“The Chrysler went through the intersection and T-boned the second vehicle,” he said. “After the impact, it made a 360 and collided with a third vehicle.”
The third vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado driven by Marsha Randal, was stopped facing south at the signal on Loop 274 at Wilkins.
There were four children in the Tahoe and two were ejected when the back glass was apparently forced open upon impact, Delgado said. Two other children in the vehicle weren’t ejected. Two adults in the Tahoe were wearing seat belts but the children were not, Heckler said.
All others involved were wearing seat belts, she said. Randal was taken by ambulance to Angleton Danbury Medical Center in good condition, Delgado said.
No citations were issued at the scene but citations are pending, Heckler said.
Neither alcohol nor speed likely was a factor, she said.
Traffic along Loop 274 was slowed for about an hour Saturday afternoon.

Emphasizing Of Aluminium Advantage For Commercial Vehicles
Our next vehicles will be very low in weight as manufacturer of Vehicles Industrial group will produce vehicles from Aluminium material. This is based on last week Vehicle Engineering & Exhibition held in Illinois. edited by : Saudi
Alcoa Executive Emphasizes Aluminum Advantages for Commercial Vehicle Market at SAE Conference.
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Low weight aluminum offers real-world fuel economy and emissions benefits to
manufacturers of commercial vehicles. That was the key message Todd Summe,
Division Manager, Product Design & Development for Alcoa (NYSE:AA), told
attendees at the SAE Commercial Vehicle Engineering & Exhibition held last week
in Illinois. Summe participated in a panel discussion on sustainability issues
representing the Aluminum Association`s Aluminum Transportation Group.
"With many challenges facing the commercial vehicle industry, including concern
over greenhouse gas emissions, fuel costs and federal mandates that add weight
to vehicles, high strength, yet low weight aluminum offers real-world solutions
today," said Summe. "Aluminum offers a 40-50 percent weight savings over steel.
Fleet and owner operators want increased payload, better fuel economy and
reduced emissions, which aluminum delivers on all fronts."
Summe discussed the advantages of using advanced aluminum applications in
commercial vehicles and cited research that validates the benefit of
lightweighting. For example, aluminum use in cars globally saves 300 million
tons of greenhouse gas emissions and 35 billion gallons of gasoline annually.
"Lightweight aluminum presents an opportunity for the trucking industry to
improve fuel efficiency and payload, reduce operating costs and emissions,
improve durability, increase resale value, and meet sustainability goals because
aluminum is infinitely recyclable. All this, without sacrificing safety and
performance," Summe said.
Other facts Summe highlighted include:
* Road testing of a bus fleet in China indicates a 3,000 pound weight savings
achieved through an aluminum spaceframe, forged aluminum wheels and aluminum
skin - the body is 46% lighter than a comparable steel bus body.
* An aluminum wheel can improve tire rolling resistance by up to 3% over a
comparable size steel wheel - 3% less rolling resistance equals 1% fuel savings.
* Aluminum provides increased value and mileage when matched with hybrid
electric vehicles, compared to steel bodied vehicles.

Vehicles is still a killing machine/Todays top stories
Woman dies on Rt. 506 in single-vehicle crash
Monday, October 12, 2009 3:00 AM
By Saudi
No matter how slow and neat the way you are driving and even you did not crash with other vehicles but crash by your own single vehicle could always happen to you in this modern world with new technology as the vehicle you are driving is like a killing machine.
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
HILLSBORO, Ohio—A 28-year-old southern Ohio woman was killed early yesterday when her car veered off the right side of a road and struck a tree.
Mary B. Hodges of Hillsboro was driving west on Rt. 506 in Highland County about 1:30 a.m. when the crash occurred. After Hodges' car swerved over the center line, she overcorrected and lost control, according to the Wilmington Post of the State Highway Patrol.
Hodges, briefly trapped in her 1994 Ford Probe, was taken by ambulance to Highland District Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Victims identified in train-car accident
A vehicle-train collision Sunday afternoon left one woman dead and two others seriously injured.
According to the Crawford County Sheriff's Office, the accident occurred at around 4:50 p.m. .1 miles west of 150st on North Road in Girard. The sheriff's office reports that a 1996 passenger vehicle failed to yield at a railroad crossing and was struck by a southbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train.
The driver, Leseana Hightower, 22, Girard, was pronounced dead at the scene. Floyd Hayes, 29, Girard, and Floyd Hayes Jr., 7 months old, were air-lifted to a hospital in Kansas City. Their condition is unknown.
The occupants of the train were uninjured.
The accident remains under investigation.

PALM HARBOR —A Florida Highway Patrol trooper fired a shot at a man who led him on a chase Saturday through a Palm Harbor neighborhood.
According to FHP spokesman Sgt. Larry Kraus, Kanaan Ahmad Magdi, 21, of Palm Harbor stole items from a Hess Express gas station about 8 a.m. and left in a Jeep Compass.
The clerk at the store notified a trooper who happened to be at the store at 2485 Nebraska Ave. about the same time, Kraus said.
The trooper followed Magdi into a nearby community and tried to conduct a routine traffic stop.
Magdi stopped his vehicle at 2655 Nebraska Ave. When the trooper got out of his vehicle, Magdi "put the car in reverse and started backing up towards him," Kraus said. The trooper, who said he feared for his life, fired at the vehicle. Several shots hit the Jeep, Kraus said.
Magdi then led the trooper on a short chase, Kraus said. Reaching the corner of Grenoble and Glen Haven drives, Magdi gave up.
Magdi was being held Sunday at the Pinellas County Jail, charged with theft and assault on a law enforcement officer, among other charges. He is being held in lieu of $10,500 bail.
Kraus said because there were no injuries or fatalities, it isn't mandatory that the trooper be removed from duty. He would not release the trooper's name.
"We are still investigating to make sure everyone followed policy and procedures," Kraus said of the review being conducted by the office of professional compliance. "It will be determined what we do from there."

the alleged perpetrator of the thieft should be subjected to the full extent of the law without any consideration for mercy as he failed to show any for the arresting officer who he subjected to a potentionaly dangerous and possibly fatal situation.

He might have gotten away but his pants were down around his thighs. Stupid nignog. I bet if he was backing up on me and I emptied my gun into his Jeep and I said Ifeared for my life the judge would just laugh and put me away and let the POS go free.

Thankfully the trooper is okay. I'm glad he wasn't put on any type of leave; however, might need to go practice at the range a little more. This creep will be out of jail in no time - hopefully he won't kill an officer, or anyone, in the future.
