In 2006 my husband was a deputy sheriff I'm mt.he was driving a 2006 crown victoria with approx 3000 miles. He was heading to an assistance call on the interstate at a high rate of speed. Road conditions were good that day and no abnormalities in the road. I hired a private investigator to investigate some issues.
