His squad car kinda looks like it got hit by an Israeli missile...

...no, a REAL missile, not a hoax job.

Police said the trucker that hit Rich Kelly's car did not obey the state's move-over law, which requires vehicles to slow down and move a lane away to give police officers room to work.

Gonna be hard to contradict that conclusion.................

Pet peeve of mine. I drive a Trailways coach and I am amazed at the number of times I move to the left* for a cop or someone else pulled over and some SOB speeds by me on the right.

*driving is the only time you will catch me moving to the left.

Let me run this scenario by you, and the others may read and comment as well.

Let's say traffic is rolling along at 65-70. Everyone sees the cop on the side accept a few tail gating four wheelers, and starts moving over. This copper color rig has his turn signal on, and is awaiting his chance to merge left to give the traffic stop it required space.

Just then, one of the impatient tailgating four wheelers whip out in front of the copper color rig missing the rigs bumper by mere inches. Then, the four wheeler sees the disco lights and lays on the brakes, causing the rig to have to slam his on to avoid hitting the four wheeler who just did something incredibly stupid. In locking up the brakes like he did, the rig jack knifes and slides off the road and hits the police car.

Possible?

The reason I ask, this is not a case of some truck plowing into the back of a cop car like the article suggests, and readers bought into here. This rig clearly hits the squad car in a jack knifed position... ...I drove long enough to know that it takes a little bit of a distance to place that rig, jack knifed in the position it is in....notice the front tires are barely in the driving lane...
