My friend's stepson was killed about a year ago - (yes, killed instantly) in a situation that is eerily similar to yours. <BR/><BR/>He was coming home from work at about 2 in the morning and a cop came roaring through an intersection in pursuit of a suspect - no lights and no siren and they T-boned him. There was a trial, but no charges were brought against the officer - naturally. And this was the 2nd time he'd been involved in a similar incident. So this could have been a lot worse for you.AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-35364153260916960712008-07-13T12:41:00.000-04:002008-07-13T12:41:00.000-04:00That sucks that you had to go through this.
