In general....I support law enforcement.
But I'm tellin' ya......they are incapable of being of any help to correct poor drivers. Sure they can pull you over for speeding or disregarding a crossing walk. Give you a parking ticket.
But every day I see drivers on their phones. Or not paying attention. Or in complete disregard for traffic flow.
On FB just now an accident here......
shocking.....
And.....this is THE 4 lane road I mentioned earlier I was on this morning......
===========
Earlier today around 1:00 PM, Central Dispatch received a report of a reckless driver in the 7300 block of Turtlemound Rd. A VSO deputy located the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop near 3rd Ave/S. Peninsula Ave. At that point, the vehicle fled and accelerated at a high rate of speed toward the South Causeway bridge.
The deputy deactivated his emergency lights and lost visual contact with the vehicle as it crossed over the bridge. Shortly later, the vehicle crashed on the west side of the bridge near Magnolia Street.
A total of at least five vehicles were involved in the crash. As a result, two individuals, including the driver who fled, were transported to the hospital as trauma alerts. All others involved did not report any injuries. The bridge will be closed for an extended period of time as NSBPD conducts the crash investigation.
