That’s a depressing site to visit. Holy cow. Just the tip of the iceberg too.
Good place to find statistics on numbers I really wish didn’t know about. haha
One of the stories on that page is ‘Drunk driver slams into cop car’.
I saw that happen in the late Eighties in I-680 just south of San Ramon. My ex and I were coming home from her parent’s house one night, and saw a burning CHP unit on the side of the road. Another CHP unit was there- I think the officer was trying to keep the injured one going until the EMTs got there. I laid out a flare pattern and lent some blankets at the officer’s request. The assisting officer and I talked it over and agreed that the fire wasn’t going to get any worse, and was providing heat and light, so I didn’t get my extinguisher out.
My ex called the hospital and found that the injured officer was going to be OK, never heard anything else about it. I still wonder how it played out in the end. The cop who was down didn’t look like he was doing so well when we got there.
