Description:
Police official responding to assist with a burglary in progress call decided to take another route behind another responding officer. While I took the paved, longer, route, they decided to take the dirt road. This road just happened to be under construction that evening. The were putting in huge underground pipes which required steel trench shores, about 5� tall by 15� long and 8� wide. One of such trench shores was on the right side of the roadway out of the trench. The first officer passed it, but kicked up enough dust for the second to not see it in time. It completely spun the vehicle 360 degrees and striking the pipes along the road with the rear bumper.

He called me on my cellular, because his radio was now not working, and said that he was in �a little accident.� Huh, if this is little, what is big?

He walked away from this with only minor aches because of several factors, mainly his seatbelt and he listened to me and locked his doors which was able to withstand more impact and kept the door from swinging open as he spun.
