Douchebags

Once again HUAS (Head Up Ass Syndrome) ends up causing injury to one of us. Speedy recovery to the Trooper.

Lucky to be alive, speedy recovery.

Speedy recovery Trooper.

Fuck getting trapped inside a crown vic because the frame torques between the A and B pillars

Speedy recovery trooper, someone was watching over you last night.

Oh come on now, that car died so that he could live.....

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, Trooper.

mtc...does the entire fleet have the rear impact fire suppression system? I guess you have seen more of these than me, but I thought the nozzles were only under the car...

Speedy recovery trooper! Smh of all that wreckage look how that reflective tape stands out!

Frank, the entire fleet is SUPPOSED to, however they are velcroed and zip tied up there. Many cruisers don't have them, and when you call to get it fixed you get the run around from the garage....or so i've heard. On a side note, thank God the truck hit the passenger side of the cruiser and not the drivers side or else we'd probably be talking more serious injuries. Get well soon Trooper

A little Bondo and a can of Krylon she'll be good as new in no time, it should buff right out..

Get well Trooper! .. And look on the bright side your going to get a new sled.

I thought that as well. Thankfully it was an angle hit. If he got hit flush or on the driver's side, it could have been REAL ugly.

Best wishes in your recovery Trooper.

Good guy, glad he is okay. Rest up brother.

Brings back some bad memories. Glad he's OK, glad it was a passenger side hit.
