CHiPS - Officer rolls over

[@Westsoid2009]

One of my all time favorite episodes. Brianne Leary as officer Sindy was simply adorable.

[@colinmclaurin2673]

Right about that.

[@diegocanale1124]

i felt bad about her when i watched this episode first time

[@artytoons]

"MAIT Team"...one of the better episodes. A geniune mystery story and good stunt driving work.

[@cadman303]

I am a car stunt crash fanatic. I have seen and studied plenty of the old 70s and 80s shows like Fall Guy, Dukes Of Hazzard, and so on. I never had any idea that this show had so many damn good stunts untill checking some of them out on KZbin.

[@mrbubetube]

you need to watch a movie called Short Time from 1990. GREAT car chase in that one.

[@blockmasterscott]

Wasn't this the episode where until later after they thought they had all the accident victims accounted for when they found her down the ravine, and she was suspected for being negligent because she had some fast food beside her?

[@robertclark6349]

Yes. She was going to get the blame until they discovered that the truck driver had been blinded by the mirror.

[@diegocanale1124]

yes. And she wasn't even responding to a code 3 call with blaring sirens

[@devilmaster73]

11 dead from this accident iirc. most in the series. a very young me remembered this episode simply for the loss of life. The shot of all the bodies in a row covered in tarps.

[@nosowisewoman]

i saw this episode when it first aired, never saw it again until now. i've always remembered it as a clever recreation of the accident.. i've always wanted to see it again..

[@Channel51_LA]

I think about this episode every time I'm on that road. LOL

[@tomcatxsl6742]

POSSIBLE FATALITY?!?!?!?! One driver decapitated driving under the truck's trailer, the truck driver had to be instantly killed when the black Ford Galaxy slammed the corner of the cab, and other people with massive trauma striking each other head-on, and then burning to death in the fire, and the police lady with who knows what injuries in the roll-over. I call that a blood-bath!

[@sexobscura]

it's just life in the Golden State

[@Highice007]

Sindy Cahill, the police woman had a short coma, concussion, and broken colar bone, acording to CHiP's WIKI.

[@erikbunty2016]

Carnage.

[@erikbunty2016]

Ponch thought the trucker might still be alive, but I bet he was killed on impact, probably not even knowing what hit him.

[@erikbunty2016]

Sgt. Getraer said 11 people perished in that crash.

[@SmilingSynic]

[@inbredagogo]

This episode of Chips must have been filmed in Dallas, due to all of the brainless accidents.

[@michaelpowell5266]

[@RedNekLvr22]

Say what you want for the disco but is ws cleverly arranged. You'll notice the violins when Sindy and her car is shown then the bass guitar plucking away with the semi and it's driver. Then, of course, the violins and bass guitar in this creepy mesh as the accident is occuring.

[@firecriss1392]

This was that seasons "female officer in distress" episode. The next season they did something similar with Bonnie Clark and a truck.

[@bobboberson7684]

[@erikbunty2016]

@robertclark6349 That was 100% preventable if she would have emptied her service revolver and shotgun into those bikers.

[@snakeplissken5493]

Seems every wreck on Chips was a ramping of cars. How did that 67 Ford ramp over that Valiant into the Ford cabover truck instead of just rear ending that Valiant ?

[@Amar7605]

[@robertclark6349]

Ford built those trucks until 1990 so they were cheap and plentiful.

[@maybewinter]

The episode that gave you nightmares as a kid

[@twonine3]

Seatbelts...optional. Disco? Necessary.

[@aerlial360]

I remember this episode as one of, if not the only episode with a fatality. I believe Ponch or John came up with an idea to reenact the accident, and they discover guys up on the hill were moving a mirror, which blinded the truck driver, causing him to swerve into the other lane and cause the whole pileup.

[@msmoonbeam91]

There was one where they lost an officer it wasn't one of the regulars I think he was only on that one episode. He saved someone from an explosion but was hit by shrapnel. That episode freaked me out when I was little.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

You are so correct ponch & Jon recreated the accident with the guy holding the mirror up on the hill & Jon almost lost control himself. Great episode. 😊

[@robertclark6349]

There were two episodes that had fellow CHP officers die in the line of duty. The episode where a drunk driver kills his own wife. And an episode in the final season where a woman Ponch was dating died in an accident.

[@robertclark6349]

​@@msmoonbeam91I believe that was season 4. The 1980-81 season. The officer who was dying with a brain tumor who wanted to save one more life before he was taken out of service.

[@fayewitt9881]

​@@msmoonbeam91I think I know what one you're talking about, it's a season 4 episode called" Sick Leave. There was also another episode where the CHP lost a fellow officer of course he wasn't a regular neither, it was a season 3 episode called" Death Watch! There was two officers injured but one of them bad enough to actually die, one of the two officers was Baricza but he was the one who survived it was his partner who died

@TheSuperCRASHer - From Season two. That was when the background music switched to disco beats.

[@walterschivo9123]

Not sure on what number it was, but it turned out a construction crew was installing a mirrored mantle for the fire place, it hit the sun off that particular time when it was SETTING, reflected the light onto the truck driver, thus the truck driver was blinded, drifted tot he wrong side, just made out the CHP car, Sidney I believe the officer accelerated her car to get out of the way and thus she turned over and the chain reaction happened.

[@welcometoorefuge]

Ponch and Jon found Officer Cahill's pickle ....

[@DA90027]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spit my diet coke laughing at that comment

[@N4TCM]

Walter Schivo a California congressman(played by Eric Braeden of Young & Restless fame) was studying high speed pursuits and safety of the officers in that episode. He blamed Cahill for the accident at first until Ponch & Jon did a reinactment. She couldn't remember what happened from the hospital. It's on the second season dvd.

[@shawncromwell2230]

I remember this episode. At the time it was one of the most highly coordinated crashes ever filmed for a television show.

[@erikbunty2016]

The truck basically jack knifed and clipped Sindy's car, which sped out of control and flipped.

Not sure how old you are but back in those days a lot of cars only had lap belts. And in the case of the 1973 Dodge Polara Sindy was driving the shoulder belt could be disconnected and tuck into a shelf on the inside betwwen the A and B pillars. :)

This CHIPs episode had the most deaths. In most of the episodes, people didn’t die. But this one and the other episode where a fellow CHP was killed due to a stuntman causing a wreck to collect on insurance fraud.

[@DA90027]

I only watch this show for all the old L.A. location shooting and the beautiful cars they wrecked. Some worth thousands now but in 1979 maybe 600 bucks. The one thing that always pissed me off about this show was how each accident they have a car ramping over another which in real life seldom happens. Don't get me started on the lousy acting stupid dialogue and insipid plots. Brianne Leary here looks like the most inexperienced driver and actress with those phony movements before she rolls the Cruiser over.

[@DA90027]

that's why she never did much after her facial expressions looked like she had bad news from her tax accountant more than impending death...lol But this show was notorious for hiring non-actors like Larry Wilcox's replacement and Bruce Penhall...if you added up all the acting talent on this show it still wouldn't equal Victoria Principal's talent

Things I learned from this episode: *To make your '66 Ford Galaxie sedan fly, all you need is a hatchback jamming on its breaks in front of you to launch off of. *Small Toyotas do not hold up well when driven under a semi truck. No need for a backboard..you can just haul car crash victims away from their wrecked vehicles by their arms and legs. *Had Sindy been doing her job and actually pulled over the orange Toyota for speeding moments before the crash, none of that mess would have happened.

[@SaidHead2]

1. The convertiblized orange car was actually a Mazda RX2, not a Toyota. 2. I spotted a green Datsun 240Z that was nowhere to be found after the crash. 3. The blue Plymouth Valiant that the Ford Galaxie flew over (and clipped the flattened roof of the Mazda) was clearly lowered to beyond any legal ground clearance. This was clearly used as a ramp car. 1970s car stunts had a litany of continuity errors, and we loved them for it.
