Police Cruiser Slams Into Couple On Bike Dash Cam Video Couple Flies Over Troopers Car. Newly released dash-cam video shows an Ohio State Trooper slamming his cruiser into a couple riding a motorcycle. The trooper, Jacob Daymon, was driving on U.S. 35, east of Dayton last month, when the camera caught the moment of impact. Daymon appears to not see the couple until it's too late and the two are tossed back over the car.
As Amy and Corey Waldman lay alongside the road, Daymon asked if they were alright, then checked his vehicle and ran up the road to put out a small fire. The couple is doing well and said they're thankful they were wearing helmets. Ohio State Police say they are currently investigating the incident.

Can’t tell if serving or if protecting.

Yeah, this was posted last week. Brutal accident. Was hoping your post was an update on the lawyered up LEO.
BTW, was the officer tested for alchohol or drugs in his system?
Why are they in the middle of the road, and I am not seeing any flashing or reflective lights.
This is what happens when you internal post cop jobs. The highway department snow plow operator of 10 years promotes up to the police department.
Well as long as no police were hurt, no harm, no foul. What are they charging the motorcyclists with BTW? Interfering with an officer?
Neither.
From my days growing up in Dayton, I have found the OHP has always been a pretty SELF serving organization.
In fact, I think their motto is:
SELF-SERVING and INTIMIDATING
Only update I’ve located so far is here:
It’s been just over one week since we reported about the Ohio State Trooper who inexplicably rammed his police cruiser into Amy and Corey Waldman who were riding a motorcycle. The trooper was identified as Jacob Daymon and he refused to make any statements to the press, apparently being told to do so by his lawyer.
The Waldmans are terribly lucky to be alive after the violent crash, as the footage from the police cruiser shows absolutely no intention of slowing down. They also credit their helmets for saving their lives, even though Amy Waldman has extensive road rash lesions on her face.
The Ohio State Police first refused to release the footage, despite the fact that it is public record. TV station 2 News had to file a lawsuit demanding its release and making it public.
Amy and Corey told 2 News they have forgiven Daymon, but we really believe things will go messy. The Oho State Police declared there are no charges currently pending against Daymon, and that he was not relieved form his highway duties.
Taking a good look at the accident recording, it only seems that Daymon was not paying attention, with the investigation hopefully shedding some light on this extremely nasty thing. The Wladmans are at the Miami Valley Hospital.
Thanks for asking.
I wonder how long it will be before this video is “lost” and the Youtube copies are ruled “inadmissable.”
Because you are not allowed to drive on the shoulder.
Couple cited for recklessly bicycling backwards.
A poster on You Tube had a good point:
Suppose a civilian driver ran over a COP on a bike? What do you think would happen to the driver then?
I’m wondering if the victims had to pay for damages to the police car.
Im thinking he was preoccupied with his in car laptop, i see ‘em doing it all the time where I live. Saw a cop run into a boat that was just outside a boatyard fence once, why? because I heard her admit she was using the in car laptop at the time of the accident.
LOL!
OHP is nothing more than a money maker for the state. Cross into Ohio and you can get sterilized by the amount of Radar guns pointed at you.
Ok, but single file on the edge of the road way, and flashing lights/reflectors would have been better than in the middle of the road with nothing.
In my area we are regularly bombarded in the news of auto/cycle accidents which report the citations issued. The main one is “inattentive driving”. Kind of ironic in this case isn’t it.
“inexplicably” usually means “drunk”.
