State Police have charged a Milford, CT. police officer after they allege he was driving at 94 miles per hour in a cruiser while not answering an emergency call when he collided with another vehicle killing two 19-year olds. The Associated Press: Conn. officer charged in fatal crash drove 94 mph
Holy crap.. Bad bad bad.. Hate saying it but there's no way to justify that and defend him from going to jail..
One story says he was responding to a "non-emergency call" and the other says he was responding to a mutual aid call for a "riot in progress" I can see going lights and sirens, but 94 MPH ????... I feel for the family of the teens and the officer and his family. This will change their lives forever.
Waste of lives and a career. I agree with the part of the first comment, this video should be shown to every academy recruit.
The Airbag Control Module and PCM will tell the tale, even if there was no video. Everyone that drives a CV, Chevrolet, or MoPar should take due notice thereof and govern themselves accordingly. Remember to wear Mr. Seatbelt, too.
P1 article has a lot more info... apparently they were returning from a mutual aid call and had nothing pending. Conn. officer involved in fatal crash was driving 94 mph
That's awful. I try and remember things like this when I'm pushing the pedal through the floor on an actual hot call. What a waste.
This officer used to work in my PD...left about 6 months before I got hired (I may have gotten his spot)...here is what I know: I feel horrible for him. And these kids were shown in such a good light...yet the only pictures they could find of the two made them look trashy, slutty, and high. No one, on either side, deserves this...but it happened. I watched the video and will not watch it again - I learned my lesson...I just hope everyone else learns from this tragedy too. Unfortunately I can guarantee the friends of the kids in the oncoming car don't learn shit. That pisses me off.
