    I was only half watching the news . The dashcam showed the truck cross an intersection right in front of the cruiser and the cruiser hit the trailer . I didn't catch the details and couldn't find anything on the web .

    I wonder if this is the one that happened down in the Dallas area a couple weeks back. Was the cruiser under the trailer to the windshield and was it dark outside?

    Yep, it was down here. Happened about 5am. I think the cop was responding to a call and it had been raining. Went right under Pumpkin truck. Lucky he wasn't injured seriously. In that part of town they would have robbed the body.:biggrin_2551:

    I like the part about the truck driver will not likely face any charges.

    It did'nt look like the cop was running his lights. He should get a ticket.
    He ran a red flashing light. reckless 4 points

    if you really look at the video it shows the cop was going 77 mph on a rain slick road with out his lights on and when he hit the big truck he was still going 64 mph
    its just me but if your driving at those speeds on roads like that with out your lights on you get what you deserve
