Default Please be carfeul

Sunday morning at about 3 am a local bartender in this area struck and killed a police officer with his car. There was a tree across a darkened road. The officer was on the scene. A car pulled over and the officer walked to the vehicle. The second car then struck the officer and car. The occupants of the first car escaped injury according to newspaper reports. Rumors have it alcohol was involved.
I'm very upset for both parties now that I am aware of this. Please exercize caution.

I work in the operating room in a Level 1 Trauma Center. I could post 4-5 times a week about accidents involving alcohol. Sad situation for this police officer, though. Way too often that it is the innocent dude that gets hurt or killed...

Was it really a tree or just a horse with a giant erection?

Obviously real trees aren't safe. I think that they should cut all the real trees down and replace them with synthetic ones!
