Texas Trooper T-Bones Amazon Truck

based on here…the light for the trooper looked red with a possible green arrow for the right turn lane..the lights for the tow truck were red…Amazon had to have a green light being that arrow signal was green for that right turn…
I doubt amazon wouldve had much time to react considering how fast the trooper was moving..

 

If the articles are true, officer survived with non-life threatening injuries. It sounded like he had a partner in the car and they had some more critical injuries, but also survived. The officer was responding to a car that ran over an officer's foot while fleeing from something with 4 kids in the car. Not sure from the articles whether the troopers were aware of the children before they fled, but they tried multiple PIT maneuvers until one finally succeeded. I have opinions on whether doing a PIT on a car with kids is a good idea lol

Kind of a tough one -- needing to stop the vehicle for the children's safety, but also endangering the public and innocent occupants in the car, including children, in the process.

Either way, glad no one was killed, but it could've been a disaster if the officer struck a mini van or any other regular car.

Really not sure why the officer was so reckless going through that intersection. There were already multiple other troopers actively chasing the suspect.

 

After 2026 new cars won’t be able to run away .. cops will have ability to shut it down with the mandated ignition interlock feature .

 

The guy starts screaming loud before the crash but I could still hear the impact. I didn't hear any siren. Is it possible he didn't have his siren turned on?

 

That's terrible.

 

Wow. Just wow. The fact that no one was killed is a miracle!

 

How you can see Amazon light? It's overhead of camera car.

 

Well..if you look at the traffic light facing the trooper..what appears is the right turn lane has a green arrow meaning right turn was permitted but you look at the light for the trooper and it was red…now with that green right turn arrow more than likely the light for amazon was green along with the left turn lane green as well…becaueetthe tow truck had all red lights which would confirm the opposite direction had all greens…

 

I’ve seen them at that time of night usually running with their overhead emergency lights but no sirens…im guessing they believe that others will see them at night..

 

Thanks for the update. I’m kinda just guessing here, but since the officer was responding to an incident where another officer was injured, that may have went out as a 10-999/officer down type call, which is like the most urgent of urgent calls and every available officer is going to haul arse to get there to help their buddy. He may not have gotten much more info other than, “officer down, suspect is fleeing,” or something. Doesn’t change the fact that he messed up, but it does sort of explain the recklessness.
