Sheriff Dash Cam Catches Spectacular Crash

[viracocha]

It was the evening of December 22. two Sedgwick County Sheriff's Deputies were riding together on Kellogg near Meridian in Wichita. The deputy's dash cam video from the left lane shows his fellow deputy in the right lane. They could see a car behind them in their rear view mirrors approaching way too fast.

The, suddenly, a white S-U-V traveling at an estimated 90-to-100 miles-per-hour passes the deputies and veers to the left, striking the center median. As sparks and debris begin to fly, you see the deputy run over the bumper of the truck. It then came back over to the right and rolled at least twice before coming to rest on its wheels.

The unidentified driver of the S-U-V was rushed to a local hospital that night in serious condition. He has since been released and is expected to make a full recovery.

Although not commenting specifically on the video, deputies say there's no better proof than a video like this to show that high-speed and carelessness can go very wrong at a moments notice.

The driver faces a possible D-U-I charge. Police are waiting on a toxicology report done on him to determine if he was under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.

EPIC!!! :-)

Probably was speeding way fast and hit the brakes when noticed he was about to fly past the cops causing SUV to lose control. I think the speeding ticket would have been the better option.
