Saw a wreck yesterday morning
« on: June 04, 2010, 09:06:21 pm »
We had us a high speed chase in front of the house.  The bad guy got away and the cop lost it and took out a phone pole.  My daughter and me were outside and watched it all go down.  We live on a real bad corner so when I heard em punch it i said, here we go, and then it all happened.   We were about to goto her mommas house, but she had to goto the bathroom real bad, so that may have saved us from being out there crossing the street when that truck came barreling through.  Shook all the power wires upto the house when the pole broke off, the high voltage wires everywhere shorted out and they were laying all over my yard and the street.  it was crazy.  they don't show the car in this vid, but it was messed up.  He centered the pole  and drove straight through it.  and went on down the road another 1200ft before stopping sideways on a side street.  He's supposed to be ok, and now they're REALLY out to find that truck he was chasing.  Another officer was able to help him after he crashed.  I usually have to help people who wreck, but I couldn't get out there because of the high voltage lines everywhere.  This Kind of crap happens every month or two.  this is the 3rd policeman to wreck.  We have lots of head ons out here.  this corner sucks, especially trying to get a trailer out on the road safely.   If we'd have turned left at the right time, we'd have gotten into a nice head on.  Guess God watches out for fools n kids.  Now, was he watchin our for me or my kid... ;)

OK so they thought it was a FORD or a Chevy? lol Why not a Dodge then? You can see the cop is a terrible driver and luckily HE didn't kill someone. They were after him because he had his roll bar lights on?  ???

I thought you boys up there in Georgia could drive better than that. Gotta gas it in the turns, plants the rear end. Seriously, I'm glad you and your daughter are alright.
