Distracted Driver Plows into Vehicle Pulled Over by Officer During Traffic Stop
Texas. A scary moment was caught on camera for a traffic cop, who was missed by inches when a vehicle lost control and slammed into a car he was standing right next to. The El Paso Police Department officer was conducting a stop on Interstate 10 when, according to a department Facebook post, an alleged distracted driver failed to control their vehicle and plowed into the stopped car. The crash was just inches from the officer, pushing the vehicle some 500 feet down the roadway. Both the officer and the struck driver were treated for injuries, but they were expected to be OK. |

Re: Distracted Driver Plows into Vehicle Pulled Over by Officer During Traffic Stop
The other car just got knocked/rolled a bit down the freeway, still on the roadside far as I can tell. I'm guessing the 2nd driver was very drunk (or, charitably, maybe a crude out-of-control signaling of a medical emergency?). Day or night, drunks home in on tail lights and bumpers as a way to 'stay in-lane' (so at minimum, if you have to pull over at night, turn all car lights OFF). What's amazing to me is how the FUCK he managed to not hit the bike too OTW in, or seriously impact the cop. And, that his car's airbags don't seem to have deployed...? |
