great another metro accident. Can we please get them some driving lessons before we kill another one
Why didn't they use the express lanes !!
What is going on with the Metro Police Department officers and their driving? Please people speak up about this! Unreal.....
I guess it makes sense, somewhat. They drive a lot and since they are 'working' they are possibly not as focused on the road as they should be, with radios, computers, cell phones, looking for violations etc. This does not really excuse anything but I am sure is one of the reasons. (That and there is no real punishment for them ignoring the traffic laws.)Maybe they need to study a permanent partner/co-pilot system?
Did the Metro vehicle acually cause the accident?
The article states that Metro was "involved" -not necessarily the cause of the accident.
4 out of 5 comments above have already found Metro guilty.
Pray that these people are not the jurors at your next trial.
