I AM INVESTIGATING A FATAL COLLISION INVOLVING A VEHICLE FIRE OF A 2006 JAGUAR S TYPE 4DR SEDAN. THE FUEL FILTER IS LOCATED INSIDE THE LEFT FRONT FENDER WELL AND IS NOT PROTECTED BY ANY FRAME COMPONENT. THE FUEL SHUT OFF SWITCH IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE VICTIM VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN AN OFFSET HEAD ON MANNER ON THE DRIVER'S (LEFT SIDE), DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE AREA OF THE FUEL FILTER. THE FUEL LINE WAS TORN OFF OF THE FILTER, AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE SHUT OFF SWITCH ACTUALLY WORKED, THEREBY PUMPING GASOLINE ONTO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AS IT SLID ACROSS THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS QUICKLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THE DRIVER WHO WAS PINNED INTO THE CAR DIED AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE. MY CASE # IS [XXX]. *TR

ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS, AND UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE, AFTER 10 TO 30 SECONDS, RAPIDLY ACCELERATES TO 4,000 - 6,000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTRICT THE RAPID ACCELERATION IS TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE IGNITION KEY. *JB
