Hall, 46, also of Bristow.Wright, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected from his vehicle by the impact of the head-on crash.Wooten said the condition of the highway - there were slick spots in the area from that day's snowfall - likely contributed to the accident.

South coast rally driver Steve Hendy is set to unveil a new car for the 2007 season as he launches an assault on the country's leading asphalt rally series.

Hendy is to replace his Ford Escort WRC with a 2000 model Ford Focus and has high hopes that the new car will give him the edge against a tough list of contenders all bidding to lift the rally title.

The car is due to be unveiled next weekend on the Tour of Epynt, the first round of the Legend Fires MSA Asphalt Rally Championship and Hendy said that he and co-driver Aled Davies were eagerly looking forward to giving the Focus WRC its first competitive outing in Hendy Group colours.

"The competition this year is set to be tougher than ever before but our motorsport team has been working hard to prepare a car which is capable of winning the championship,'' Hendy said.
