Colorado State Trooper Kevin Bagley fell more than 30 feet from an elevated roadway to a river bank below in Adams County over the weekend while trying to escape a crash that involved his patrol vehicle. Bagley was seriously injured and released from the hospital to "begin his long recovery at home."

That was close. We were always taught to park your cruiser at an angle and/or, at the very least, cut the wheels to avoid this very thing.

Bagley had responded to the scene where a different suspected impaired driver hit another trooper’s car while they were at a scene Saturday morning.

It’s a dangerous problem that is happening so often and getting to a boiling point for troopers.

So far this year, 12 patrol vehicles have been hit.

“That is a precipitous increase from what we experienced last year. In 2022 of the whole year, we had eight,” Packard said. “Here we are in the middle of July and we’re already at 12. And I’m asking for everybody’s help. Lives are dependent upon decisions that are made behind the wheel of a car.”

fucking drunk asshole drivers

May have been a better situation being a river bank instead of another hard roadway.

I was taught to never stop on a bridge, but where I was on patrol we only have a few bridges.
Poor guy, I hope he gets his life back, I didn't. I had to take early retirement.
