I wrecked my first police car today. I was driving and not really paying attention. There was an AT&T bucket truck in front of me as we approached a yellow light. The lane of traffic to my left continued through the yellow light, but the truck decided to stop. When I realized he was stopping, it was already too late. I hit the breaks, but was unable to stop in time. My push bar smacked the rear of the truck and the heavy duty hitch. The truck wasn’t so much as scratched. My push bar and grill took a beating from the hitch.

If I’m lucky, the most that will happen will be a letter of reprimand placed in my file. The next best thing would be a day off without pay.

It’s good that there was no damage to the truck. At least the county will only have to fix one vehicle.

Here’s some pictures taken with my iPhone.
