Hit and FAIL

[mattm04]

Awhile ago I was stopped at a intersection with multiple lanes each direction. The light had just turned red and everyone was stopping when all of a sudden a cop car farther up hits the lights and sirens and takes off. I think nothing of it until about 2 miles up the road...a car with the remains of what I think was someones fence off the road and three police cars, ambulance and fire truck.

Later I saw in the paper that said car rear ended the cop, in the process of trying to flee took off the cops passenger side mirror hit another car and led the police on a chase before he crashed into a fence and couple of mailboxes. He was subsequently arrested and charged with a bunch of traffic violations, but had no warrants or any major previous incidents.

was he drunk or something?

Sounds like somebody panicked.

I don't know what it is about our society, but some people, when confronted with a situation where they are about to be cited for something or other just flip out and run, even when the original violation is something minor, like a simple citation for speeding.

was he drunk or something?

NO DUI according to the paper.

Maybe there's something in the car he didn't want found, or a dead body at home.


Hmmmm.

Or maybe he was on his way home to Nunavut.
