    A Friend of mine passed the scene. The patrol car was smashed to bits, he didn’t even know it was a state trooper car it was so tore up. Good the hear he made it out alive. Note the oil all over the side of the truck and road. 99C8E5F8-301A-4477-A992-1C37538D0350.jpeg

    Chicago chameleon company. Owned by Bulgarian/Balkan people. L-P operators. I think, we’ve been here before.

    I'm not calling you out, I'm just letting you know, it wasn't a state trooper. It was a Eagan city police officer. :occasion5: .. :thumbup:

    Yes, thanks for the correction. Not sure what he was thinking tho, turning in front of the truck like that. We have enough 4 wheelers doing stupid stuff every day. Who knows - this could go either way.

    Quite true. Article stated that the officer was responding to a call and his emergency lights were activated. Usually most people fall back and reduce speed in anticipation of a police vehicle getting ready to turn at a median but most police officers do that from the left lane,not from the right!

    He’s a 22yr-old kid. I didn’t have a lot of common sense at that age, either.
