New Crash Test Result
Available on NHTSA's World Wide Web Site
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) latest crash test results for 1999 model vehicles--including the first vehicle to receive the top 5-star rating for both occupants in both the frontal and side NCAP tests, the Ford Windstar--are now available on the agency's World Wide Web site: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov.
For both frontal and side impact, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) crash test results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars showing the best crash protection for vehicles. Frontal tests should be compared only within the same weight class.
