                by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

    MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, June 4 Consumers worldwide now
have access to full-motion video results of the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety's (IIHS) high-speed frontal offset crash tests for four 2001
large pickup trucks at progressive.com.  The latest tests (results released at
10 a.m. today) were conducted on the Ford F150, Toyota Tundra, Chevrolet
Silverado/GMC Sierra and Dodge Ram. Progressive.com is the only insurance Web
site with this crash test footage.  Previous vehicle crash test results are
also archived at the site.

    "Progressive believes that the key to making well-informed decisions is
choice," said Toby Alfred, site manager for progressive.com.  "Hosting the
IIHS crash test videos on progressive.com helps consumers choose the vehicle
that is right for them - one that will keep him or her safe in an accident,
and cost the least to be repaired.  Progressive.com is the only site where
consumers can view vehicle crash test results and then check out the insurance
rates for the vehicle from Progressive and up to three other leading
companies."

    Progressive.com has been hosting the crash test videos since November
2000.
