BREAKING: Doctors Lexus RX Hybrid Explodes In Driveway, Foul Play Suspected
The chairman of the Arkansas Medical Board was critically injured Wednesday in an apparent explosion after he got into his vehicle, according to CNN affiliate WMC-TV.

Dr. Trent Pierce was injured outside his home Wednesday, authorities and local media say.

West Memphis, Arkansas, police said foul play is not suspected and it could have been a malfunction with the hybrid Lexus SUV, according to affiliate WREG.

Dr. Trent Pierce of West Memphis. Arkansas, was flown to a Memphis, Tennessee, hospital after the apparent blast. He was in extremely critical condition, the station reported, citing police.

The incident occurred at about 8 a.m. as Pierce got into his Lexus hybrid at his home, WMC said.

FBI spokesman Jason Pack said two people were injured in the incident. He said authorities have not determined there was an explosion, but they have confirmed a fire.

Aerial footage from the scene showed the white Lexus SUV with its hood blown up and its front end extensively damaged.

UPDATE: Minutes ago, police said the explosion was not caused by malfunction but now believe it is foul play.

The article says "...foul play is not suspected", so what's with the headline?

You seriously think the police investigators would think foul play only because it's a Lexus?

What a jackass you are. Your educated guess is worth about the same as all your other inane and annoying posts.

I've read your stuff long enough, and now am asking you to please shut up. Your not funny. Your not smart. Most of the crap you post isn't even remotely relevant to the stories at hand.

Shut up/ grow up or get the hell out.

what a fvck is wrong with you ChuckRetard37? """sick of overrated toyota trash?"""Newsflash dickweed: NOONE IS HOLDING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD MAKING YOU BUY A TOYOTA. Go marry your Infiniti G37 for all I care. It is none of your business to worry about what other people drive. If we decide to choose a Lexus over Infiniti you can go f*** yourself for all I care. Go drive your stupid G37 and SHUT THE F*** UP ALREADY

DinamoR, Take your own medecine then. You were ALL ABOUT forcing automakers to build cars that get wacko-jacko mileage even though those cars already exist (just no one wants them when gas is cheap). Stop being a hyppocrite. NO ONE IS HOLDING A GUN TO ANYONE'S HEAD TO FORCE THEM TO BUY A SEQUOIA OR X5!! But you want to force everyone to buy a wussy little prius. Typical liberal, no better than the wacko conservatives, its just the conservatives understand business & economic principles a little better (by the way, bush & his boys werent conservatives... in the slightest way). Typical liberal.... someone says something you dont like at you retreat to free-will, but someone wants something you think is "bad" and you want to force them to have otherwise.

what? i don't want to force anyone anything. Go buy a Hummer H2 and sleep in it. Are you talking about the California emissions standards? Yeah I think they should have the right to regulate that. Have you seen the cloud of smog above L.A.? Do you know that asmtha, allergy and all lung disease rates are way higher in L.A. than other places because of higher pollution? I was lived in L.A. and was raising my kids there i'd want the air to be as clean as possible, so yeah they should regulate it.

Hi buddy, I HAVE SEVERE ASTHMA so stop the fear mongering. I can't leave my house without checking for my inhaler the same way I check for my mobile or my wallet. What freaking smog cloud are you talking about? Have you compared data from the 1970s to right now? Do you have any clue as to what you are talking about? Do you even know what a catalytic converter is? California DOES have a right to limit fuel consumption... its called a damn gas tax. Quit F**king with automakers just because its trendy and eco-crazies like it for some insane reason. Just like the liberal group that protests the government using a coal power plant for heating in DC..... quit you goddamn complaining and fork over the money!! Whats funny is that you don't realize that Im playing devil's advocate with you about the whole situation. I like all cars, big to small, its just I understand this little thing called Free Choice and Capitalism.

I liked driving the RX400h, but I spoke with a few owners and none of them were happy with it. The one (a relative) couldn't stand it (which I cant understand) and got a E320 Bluetec... and loves every second. I wish lexus wouldn't label their hybrids with different numbers than the gasoline... if the gas engine is 3.5L, then call it RX350h. Just more advertising BS.

ChumpG37, If Lexus had an issue with the batteries, or Hybrid System, this as mentioned earlier, the doctor would be hit from the back, not the front. All the batteries are under the rear seats. Before you try to say Toyota/Lexus own the media, and they suck, you should get your head out of your ass and stick with your crap. No one wants to hear it anymore really.

See what I'm saying about the stupid comments? Besides, wouldn't it just be cheaper to kill people than fly them out to Barbados? If you are going to throw out idiotic conspiracy theories, at least give them a quick brush of reality.

I bet its those crazy religious right wing conservatives upset that abortions will not be banned. Those morons are the american al qaeda. we should hunt down everyone of them. U.S.A. and the whole world would be better off. Middle East is ruled by religious conservatives, only muslim instead of christian. But change jesus for allah and you have the same thing.

What makes your point of view right? Here you are, talking about hunting down someone for their political/religious beliefs. What a F**king hyppocrite you are. Hitler/Stalin had the same ideas as you, "I dont like the way these people think & Im right so Im going to hunt these people down for their religious & political beliefs and kill them" Its people like you who are going to detroy this country, you are no better than the jackass religious-right who forced us into Iraq or the lying sneaks (california environmentalists) who want to get CO2 considered a toxic gas so they can "keep the environment clean". My ASS, they just feel smug and dont like Detroit. Logic and reasoning, something no politician (or you) is good at.

republicans already hunt down everyone for political reasons. they politicized the judicial department, made appointments based on pure ideology. You're right, that's the same thing Stalin and Hitler did. we need to keep those right wing assholes out of politics........but if these right wingers start bombing doctors because of abortions then I say hell yeah hunt them all down because if that's the case they are just like Al Qaeda

You still dont recognize how what you are proposing is anything different from what you say the republican right wingers want. It's one thing to arrest someone who plants a bomb in someones car, but you want to arrest all people who identify themselves as strongly religious or conservative? Even I, me, the ultra-secularist, anti-politician zealot laugh at your nonsense. Your idea that we should round people up based on beliefs..... im sorry but you sound just like I did when I was a teenager. I can't legitimately believe you are anything more than 19yrs old.

dude a lot of those right wingers believe violence is justified to fight against abortion. those people are medieval. if they start killing people (and they have before) then yeah we should label them a terrorist organization because that's what they are and treat them accordingly. Have you seen the movie "jesus camp"? It's like watching an Al Qaeda training video. Like I said, replace allah with jesus and its the same lunatic crap they have in middle east.

On the other hand, didn't Toyota harrier were catching on fire? I remember reading something about this and a huge recall. The Harrier is the RX and vice versa.

I work for the local newspaper here in West Memphis, and it is apparently a bomb of some sort, not a hybrid malfunction. Although it could be an exploit of the hybrid technology (As much an exploit as soaking a rag in gasoline and stuffing it in the tank). He was outside the vehicle looking at the exposed hood, presumably because there was something wrong with the car. If you want high-res pictures from the local news source where I work visit my site.
