The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has opened an Internet portal allowing the public to report accidents tied to a Trinity Industries Inc. guardrail system, which has been linked by lawsuits to at least eight deaths. This is the latest sign of intensifying government scrutiny of Trinity and its shock-absorbing guardrail end-terminal, the ET-Plus. It has been reported that the system can seize up on impact, spearing cars instead of giving way as intended.
