Dunno, but everything went back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left.

How fast could the motorcade have been traveling?

Hitting a concrete embankment at any speed will do serious damage to anybody

I wonder if perhaps he had a medical problem (heart attack, seizure, etc..) that caused him to lose control....

Still very tragic, prayers for his family....

Ask Corzine, ( Gov. of People’s Republik of New Jersey ) how fast motorcades go and what happens if you don’t wear a seatbelt .

Haven’t yet seen a line in the story where Clinton got out of her motorcade to see if the officer was OK. More likely she screamed “WHAT THE F^&* IS THE DELAY???? MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!!!”

You must have someone on the inside to know this so soon.

The video at your link mentions near the end that Clinton seemed to have been running late getting to her next event. I thought I heard the guy say that they had been wondering why she wasn't there yet and had flown the chopper over to her route when the accident occured

If an officer was killed because her motorcade was speeding, it won't look good (assuming, though, that it makes the news)

Dallas Officer Injured in Crash While Escorting Clinton Motorcade

A Dallas police motorcycle officer who was escorting Hillary Clinton’s motorcade crashed Friday, and has been taken away in an ambulance.

The unidentified officer had been escorting the Democratic presidential candidate to a campaign rally when the accident happened on the Houston Street viaduct.

Before being taken away, the officer was lying face down in what appeared to be a large pool of blood, while another officer rubbed his back. The motorcycle was badly damaged, and the officer’s helmet and debris were strew across the street, by a long set of skid marks.

Dallas police spokesman Sgt. Gil Cerda said he had no information on the crash, which happened shortly after 9 a.m. The officer’s condition is not known.

FOX News’ Aaron Bruns and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The wheels probably just fell off her campaign.

Yes this has happened before....to Bush.

A police officer in President Bush's motorcade crashed his motorcycle and died , less than a year after a crash in Hawaii killed another motorcycle officer accompanying the president.
