NJ Motorcycle Officer Loses Leg
http://www.officer.com/web/online/To...-Crash/1$40120
No files were charged against the driver.....hmm |
Unfortunate part of riding a police bike, getting seriously injured is always a possibility. Police stickers and lights don't prevent accidents and riding in inclement weather is part of the job. Sucks to hear that he got hurt so badly.
Hope he can make some kind of recovery and maintain a decent qualiity of life. Ken |

If he was lucky (if you could say that) they amputated below the knee so he can better use a prosthetic limb. Tom |

I don't see why the driver would be charged though.. according to this: "Bergen County Police Sgt. William Koretsky, 46, had some type of trouble negotiating a hill on Route 9W in Orangetown, N.Y., when his cycle collided with a box truck heading south, said Lt. John McAndrew of the Orangetown police." Sounds like the cop crossed the line into oncoming traffic.:( |

realistically is was probably just a case of the cop riding onto some black ice. Funeral Details in wintertime are dangerous for motor cops. I doubt it if foul play had anything to do with it. Still a tragedy just the same. Ken |

Sucks to happen, LEO or not. |
A COPS episode a while back was riding with a Officer with a prosthetic limb just above the knee, the guy he was trying to arrest ran from him, but moments after the cop caught up and took him down, so I'm sure this guy's future might not have to change much.

Thats really to bad. At least he is upbeat as said, and lucky to be alive. I wonder how the other cops also wrecked? Did they ALL have some sort of mishap?:doh:
