>>The dangers of new car smell 

 

New car smell may have contributed to a collision between a car and a bicycle in Colorado. The car rear-ended the cyclist. The driver of the car told police he was unaware he had struck the bicycle. Attorneys for the driver say their client suffers from sleep apnea, which caused him to fall asleep at the wheel. A forensic accident investigator says that new-car "fumes" may have been a contributing factor.
