Just read a news story of a nearby county sheriff vehicle hit, while he had pulled over another driver. I admit, I enjoy the open areas, and reasonable speed limits which match them out here in East Texas, but there are far too many folks who don’t pay attention. Some idiot hit this Tahoe, probably around 80 I’d bet. Thank God no one was injured.

ETA: the story:

HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - A deputy was making a traffic stop Saturday morning when a passing vehicle crashed into his from behind, “causing the patrol unit to become airborn.”

The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office claimed everyone involved was very lucky after a wreck that damaged three vehicles. Everyone involved walked away, but the mangled patrol unit shows how deadly the wreck could have been.

The deputy had made a traffic stop just outside Malakoff, the sheriff’s office said, when a vehicle struck his patrol unit from behind with enough force to cause it to flip, coming to rest on the roof with a crushed back section.

Authorities ask drivers to slow down and move over if they see an emergency vehicle on the side of he road. It’s both state law and the right thing to do, the sheriff’s office said.

I was not able to get a pic... But it was a wild... and the owner must have been an arse as he parked it across 3 parking spots at the Texas Roadhouse..

But it was a -6- door current gen Yukon Denali XL.

Sorry about no pic.. Had a baby in one hand, and a 5 year old holding the other.. Sorry my kids are more important. He had already gone when I left.

If I see it again, I will get a pic.
