    Erlanger Police were responding to a multi vehicle accident along I-75. As the police cruiser stops at the scene, the officer walks to the accident site. The camera then goes black as the police cruiser is hit for the first time.
    Shortly afterward as the officer was instructing motorist to get away from the crash site, you will watch the center portion of your screen and see a twin trailer Federal Express truck slide sideways and strike the red car before hitting the police cruiser.
    The driver was still in the car at the time of the crash. Continue watching to the left of your screen, you will then see another semi loose control and strike the red car again.
    There were no serious injuries in any of the three crashes viewed.




    If you haven't seen this take a look. The FedEx driver is lucky he didn't kill someone. The people that had been driving the red car were out of it. We need to look at this and ask ourselves is that load worth killing ourselves or someone else. Make sure you watch the video!

    This was already posted on here last week, it is some very powerful video.
    And that's KSP (Kentucky) not OSP.

    I stand corrected.
    I was talking to an OSP Officer at Physical Therapy the other day, and he said he thought it was one of there's.

    Yeah, it's understandable, since the crash happened on I75. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
    Boy that's one lucky driver, he was obviously going way too fast!

    That video was shown on the news up here. Some dramatic footage for sure.
