THIS REQUEST IS BEING SUBMITTED FOLLOWING A FATAL ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED THIS PAST SUMMER INVOLVING A 1999 RODEO. THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE ACCIDENT ARE SUSPICIOUS AS THE DRIVER APPEARED TO BE UNABLE TO STOP HIS CAR AND TRAVELED ACROSS AN ENTIRE MEDIAN OF AN INTERSTATE, HIT ANOTHER CAR HEAD-ON AND BURST INTO FLAMES UPON IMPACT. THE DRIVER OF THE RODEO WAS MY DAUGHTER'S FATHER AND HIS CAUSE OF DEATH WAS DUE TO THERMAL BURNS. HE WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR AND BURNED TO DEATH. QUESTIONS: COULD BRAKE FAILURE HAVE CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT? ARE THERE REPORTS OF EXPLOSIONS/FIRES WITH THE ISUZU RODEO? CRASH TESTS? THE DRIVER DID NOT SUSTAIN LIFE THREATENING INJURIES FROM THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH. HE DIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE EXPLODED INTO FLAMES AND HE WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. HAVE THERE BEEN ANOTHER REPORTS FILED WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION WITH THESE CIRCUMSTANCES? PLEASE HELP. *AK
