Thousands of Ford Broncos — which were made famous by OJ Simpson’s notorious 1994 police chase — wജere recallﷺed the same day the disgraced football legend died, officials said.
In a strange coincidence, th⛄e car company recalled 22,270 Bronco Sports due to possible cracked fuel injectors that could cause a fire, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Simpson died Wednesday in Las Vegas at age 76 after a battle with cancer.
In June 1994, a year before Simps𝔍on went on trial for murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, he was captured on camera fleeing cops in a white Ford Bronco.
The slow-speed chase, down a California highway, was broadcast on TV news stations nationally— interrupting regularly scheduled programming and capturing the nation’s attention.
More than 95 million people tuned into the c🍎h𒉰ase, searing the footage into America’s cultural memory.
Simpson’s blood was later found spattered inside the vehicle along with Brown’s and her friend Ron Goldman’s, a ✨forensic scientist testified during the trial.
