Car Crashes into Patrol Car West of Sacramento

No one ever wants to be in an auto accident, much less the cause of the crash, and even more less to have the owner of the wrecked car owned by the highway patrol. This, unfortunately, is exactly what happened just west of our Sacramento home off of I-80 in Berkley, CA two nights ago.

Much known to us Sacramento locals, the I-80 can be hectic at times. But at 2:15 in the morning, this accident wasn't anything less than a negligent driver.

While evaluating a man suspected of drunk driving, two officers barely missed being hit by a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado that was driving partially on the shoulder of the interstate. Going 65 mph, the truck hit the highway patrol car, sending the officer's car propelling 35 feet. The Silverado then proceeded to hit the suspected drunk man's Toyota Tacoma, coming to a stop thereafter. Two people were injured in the accident, including the man the officers were evaluating who suffered a broken femur.

Unsuspected car accidents such as this happen all the time. If you have been injured in a car crash from a negligent driver, please do not hesitate to call us for help and advice at the Law Offices of Moseley Collins.

Have a good day and watch out for those patrol cars...
