This report shares findings from the symposium as well as findings from two investigations of fatal tire-related motor vehicle crashes. The first involves a sport-utility vehicle and a school bus in Centerville, Louisiana; the second involves a 15-passenger van in Lake City, Florida. Accidents in Eloy, Arizona and Patterson, California are also profiled and an extensive discussion of tire registration and safety recalls is presented.
