Whatever the case, this accident instantly reminded me of an
incident only about a week ago. While manning a routine road block,
a huge truck rumbled on at high speed with no signs of stopping or
filtering to the left lane towards us. I was standing in the middle
of the road with nothing between me and the on-coming truck except
for the tiny blinkers on the road.
My regular partner screamed for me to scram to one side of the road
while he jumped to the other side, then yelled for our other two
officers to get out of the patrol cars in the path of the truck. I
will remember the scene of the truck suddenly screaching to a halt
inches away from the blinkers, smoking burned rubber tires and all
for quite some time.
Turned out the driver fell asleep and woke up only at the last
moment on seeing the blinkers on the patrol cars. Cant imagine
whats gonna happen if he continued sleeping...[/b]
Huaiwei,
Please report this incident to your MPO as soon as you can.
I trust you do know how to write a clear concise incident
report?
