Federal Task Force Releases Guardrail Crash Findings

After analyzing dozens of real-world car crashes, a federal task force said today that a controversial guardrail system blamed by victims for gruesome injuries and deaths is not uniquely dangerous and could stay on American highways. The finding comes as the maker of the guardrail system, Trinity Industries, faces a federal investigation into its dealings with state and federal safety officials and is fighting a state Department of Transportation over new crash tests for the embattled guardrail system.
