Distracted driver runs intersection, nails New York State cop
This footage, from Duane, New York, shows New York State Police conducting a property damage investigation. However, things go badly awry when an SUV loaded with five people fails to stop for a stop sign, blowing the intersection and striking one of the officers before plowing into her cruiser at speed. Miraculously, the officer involved suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the occupants of the SUV declined treatment. The driver of the Dodge Durango claimed the sun prevented him from seeing the stop sign or the State Police. While it was admittedly his responsibility, no statement was given as to why four other sets of eyes missed the same stop sign or police cruiser. This story could have easily had a very different and tragic ending.
