Sudden change in the direction of the vehicle should be carefully assessed so that drivers would not lose control over their vehicles and cause an accident that could potentially kill other motorists.
A recent accident in San Diego involves a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer who was hit before he was caught under an out-of-control truck and was dragged 50 feet from the median he was originally standing on.
The unidentified officer along with another officer was reportedly investigating an earlier solo-vehicle crash on Tuesday morning when he was suddenly struck by a truck from the eastbound lane of Interstate 8 a few minutes before 9 a.m.
The 43-year-old driver, identified as Brian Joseph Andrews, apparently hit the median where the two officers were standing before he hit the parked BMW motorcycle and dragged it along with one of the officers.
The veteran officer sustained lung injuries and abrasions but was lucky to be alive as many accidents similar to this resulted to instant deaths.
This road accident is just one of the many examples of negligence that led to injuries and possible death of the very people who should only be investigating them.
It should serve as a reminder and a reason for people to be more cautious while on the road and driving along with other motorists.
