how the hell is the semi so far over on that side of the road
RIP
ive been trying to figure that out for a while. i live pretty close to the area and actually drive by the accident scene often.
it makes no sense because 148 is a very narrow road, with 152 just down the street i dont see why a truck that size would go down it. i doubt the police car could move the truck to a position where it looks like he was heading in the on coming lane and i dont think the truck rolled back much because the car is still in the front of the semi in the pics... weird
its hard to say who is at fault from the picture but life was lost none the less.
oh no, I totally understand that.
What I'm saying was that Crown Victoria has "poor" rating on side impact.
It is the most dangerous car in its class.
If the officer was driving a Mercedes, Lexus, Volvo, etc...maybe he might have got away with serious injuries. Not death.
uh no. if a car collides head on with a semi at anywhere near an average city rate of speed, it's pretty safe to say the people in the car die upon impact, and those that don't usually won't make it to the hospital. have some common sense, it's a truck, it's basically a wall on wheels Posted via RS Mobile
Reports on the news say the semi driver states the officer had his signal on to turn and was slowing down so the semi began it's turn and then he says the cruiser sped up and drove into his truck.

I dont know about that. You would have to be going pretty fast to cause that kind of damage. and who was turning which way.
sounds like a bs story. if the truck was just beginning his turn then how did he end up so far out of lane?? and cant you tell if the guy is going to turn, i mean the cop wasn't even in the turning lane
The point of contention is going to be whether the police officier was really signalling for a turn. But unless the forensic unit can plausibly prove / disprove this point, the truck driver's recount of the incident is going to stand.
I saw this on the news a couple of days ago. photos are crazy. I passed the police station in surrey and their Canadian flag was at half mass. Got me thinking of the this thread and the police officer that passed away. damn..

the truck must have been going down 64th since i dont think any truck would be going down 148. The cop was probably heading back to the station on 142, so he must have been going west on 64th and making a left to go south on 148 and got tboned in the intersection.
Only other way would be if the cop blew the stop sign going south on 148 which seems unlikely. Or the truck blew the light on 64th which also seems unlikely since it was dry, the truck was unloaded and 64th is perfectly flat.
