Crash pics
Below are some pictures of a Sheriff's patrol car that was involved in a head on collision a few nights ago. It occured at 2:15 am on a quiet road. The other driver drifted over into the deputy's lane and hit him head on. The driver of that car was a woman who was 5 months pregnant. She and the baby died in hospital. It is unknown why she crossed into the other lane but my guess is she fell asleep. FWIW, she was driving a Subaru of some kind. Looking at the pictures you would think that the deputy also died. The damage is massive. (The roof and doors that had to be cut off to extricate the deputy have been deposited on to the wreckage. The photos were taken where the unit is now stored.) Amazingly, the deputy is alive and well. He is injured but nothing life threatening and nothing that should permanently disable him. You can see in the photos just how crunched the driver's compartment is. Luckily there wasn't anyone in the backseat or else he or she would be dead. (You can see the cage intrudes right into the rear compartment.) Use your seatbelt and support your local law enforcement agencies.

Seems like a really bad accident, so sorry to hear that the pregnant woman did not make it, nor her baby. It just goes to show that one must be very careful and allways drive w/ a seat belt on. Good thing the deputy was OK and the patroll car saved his life.
Be safe and allways obey local traffic laws.

Not to high jack but that guy is one lucky MoFo...my Dad's house is right by rt 146 and on Saturday afternoon in the rain up here, a car hydro planed acrossed the median which is about 25 ft across into on coming traffic and was launched via the little divit in the median and took roof off the other car and then landed on its roof. Both drivers perished on site....a 23 year woman and a 53 year old woman...it sounded awful and looked worse...some times life and death is a matter of inches and that officer needs to count his blessings.

What a horrific crash.
That sheriff is certainly lucky to be alive. Too bad about the other driver, and her unborn child. Good words of advice, Mr. NonGrata.

Wow, sorry to see those pictures. But I just almost got hit by a patrol car this morning. Was at a four way stop, no other cars at the intersection, made a left and out of the corner of my eyes, saw this patrol car coming along at around 60mph with lights flashing and no siren. I wasn't going fast, so was able to stop while he went by on the right. He waved sorry and we were both on our way. I can see if I was less attentive, he could have hit me very easily. Be safe out there!
