A Case of Bad Gasoline?

The Times-Picayune reports that police are investigating whether the bad gas (i.e., high elemental sulfur content) that recently plagued the New Orleans area was a factor in a Memorial Day accident that left 35-year-old Gregory Alix dead after his stalled car was rear-ended on the High Rise and knocked into the Industrial Canal 100 feet below.

"That was a consideration the day of the accident, even before the vehicle was recovered," said New Orleans Police Lt. Henry Dean, who is heading the investigation. "It was mentioned by a couple of the investigators at the accident scene."
