GLENARDEN, Md. (WNEW/AP) — A dump truck rammed into two Prince George’s County cruisers in Glenarden Wednesday, and police believe it was intentional.

Police say the dump truck hit the two cruisers in the Woodmore Town Center parking lot near Route 202 and I-95. Preliminarily, police believe the dump truck intentionally hit the cruisers and the driver is in custody.

No officers were in the cruisers at the time of the crash, and there are no reported injuries.

Police say the driver likely faces first-degree assault and related charges.

A truck does not have "intentions" - it was the driver who had intentions.

How can the driver be charged with assault if no officers were in the cruisers? Can you assault an inanimate object? There are many moving violations that this driver can be charged with, but I don’t understand assault.

[PghBaldy]

Maybe they mean attempted assault, since it says “and related charges.”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. This is poorly written. And why did they arrest the poor driver when it was the evil dump truck that intended to ram the police cruisers?

This is a self-animating, Stephen Spielbergian type, truck?

Figures! Now in MD vehicles are just like guns, in that they don’t require any human intervention to perform acts of violence. That’s why we are all disposed to have our “Rker’s Island” Model Gun Safes to keep our firearms from going out and committing murder on their own. Guess I’d better find some way to restrain the family SUV lest it take off on it’s own to run down the town donut munchers.

OUCH! Read the comments on the article. and it’s a CBS web site. surprised they are letting that happen.

If you see the photos, it is obvious the dump truck was trying to have sex with the police car.

In the U.S., there is a race jihad against police. The perpetrators may not realize they are being used by the administration to foment jihad. They think it's an ordinary race war. They probably don't know that muslims discriminate against blacks within their arab-dominated cultures.

In the UK, a trash truck driver rammed and killed 6 people in the downtown shopping district of Glasgow, Scotland a couple of days before Christmas. The driver could have been an old white guy; but because his name is being withheld, there are rumors that there were truck incidents all over Europe leading up to Christmas and that the news was being suppressed because it might have been a form of jihad. The UK media has been reporting on the "bin lorry" driver's stay and release from the hospital, but is not revealing his name; and says the report on the investigation will be "private."

Rumor has it, Stephen King’s Christine has been cruising the town with the dump truck.
