Probe into Toyota fires

DETROIT (AP): Federal safety regulators are investigating reports of fires in the driver's side doors of 2007 Toyota Camry sedans and RAV-4 crossover SUVs.

The probe could affect as many as 830,000 vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Friday in documents posted on its website. The vehicles have not been recalled.

The fires appear to start in the power-window switch on the door. Six fires have been reported to the agency, but NHTSA has no reports of anyone being hurt. The agency said it started the investigation on Monday.

Woman delivers after accident

GARDNER, Kan. (AP): A north east Kansas woman injured after a hit-and-run crash involving a tractor-trailer has delivered a healthy baby girl.

The Kansas City Star reported that 33 year-old Nikki McClure is in critical but stable condition following Wednesday's collision on Interstate 35 near Gardner.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that McClure had to be extricated from her car after rear-ending the slow-moving tractor-trailer. After the crash, the rig's driver drove off with the hood of her car impaled on the back of the trailer. As of Thursday, the truck and its driver hadn't been found.
