Police Officer Rear-ended During Traffic Stop

This is why it's very important to pay special attention to emergency vehicles ahead.
On July 13, 2021, a crash between a Lincoln SUV and a Mount Pleasant Police Department squad car sent both drivers to the hospital in Mount Pleasant, WI. The officer was sitting in the squad car, entering information into the vehicle’s computer when he was suddenly rear-ended by a Lincoln, driven by a 55-year-old woman.
Both the officer and the woman were sent to the hospital sustaining minor injuries. However, there was significant damage to both vehicles.

My only question is why didn't they pull further over off the road? It looks like he was taking up one entire lane in the roadway. Not blaming the officer but it seems like it would've been smarter to get off the road a bit more. The driver seems like an older woman who probably doesn't have the best eyesight. Depth perception is hard for some people at dusk.

[@lisaburt7118]

My son is a state trooper. When he became a cop I expressed how worried I was that he could be shot on duty. He assured me that, statistically, the chance of getting shot is extremely low. “Don’t worry Ma” he said, “ I’m way more likely to get hit and killed while on a traffic stop.” Thanks for putting my mind at ease, son.

I know, right? It's where the term "walking wounded" comes from. The injured officer was not totally aware of his injuries and moving around may make things worse and he wouldn't know it until the adrenaline wears off. I came upon a scene of an accident many years ago, and it was pretty bad. One of the drivers that were involved was walking around unaware of his injury.

One of the problems is, people tend to fixate on an object, like a police car on the side of the road. And, that results in them aiming TOWARDS that object without even realizing it. In dancing, you are taught when pivoting, to LOOK at where you want to go. Your body will naturally move in that direction. When there is something you do NOT want to hit, keep your eyes moving and do not fixate on it. Of course, it also helps if you are actually driving, rather than doing fifteen others things.

Props to the citizen who helped the officer even when he may have been getting a ticket. And props to the officer for being a tank and continuing to do his job even though he may have been severely injured. When your adrenaline is going that fast, sometimes people don't even know their limbs are broken.

[@jdisdetermined]

That’s not the guy he pulled over that helped him out of the car. It’s another cop. You can see his radio, vest and duty belt if you look closely. The guy he pulled over stayed in the car.

[@benauld3838]

@@jdisdetermined no it is the guy. evidence is: when we walks past the car he pulled over the door is open. second: he says "just stay in your car man" and third, while first responders are fast, that was too quick for another police car to show up. if it was a cop, then the cop would have assisted in securing the lady in the other car. but a cop doesn't come until he has been holding the car at gun point for a minute or two

[@niftybeee]

i understand the cop is in shock and everything but i'd say pointing a gun at a potentially harmed victim plus screaming at them to get out isn't the best course of action

[@lawoftheland5923]

It’s a good thing your opinion of having never worked the job has no bearing on what’s the right thing to do. It’s called adrenaline. Also vehicles are threats as well. Not just guns. You have no idea if this was intentional and he’s running on pure adrenaline. I’m sure you in your cushy lifestyle have never had a real adrenaline life or death dump. But it’s insane. So just shut up.

[@bedtimebiblechat7152]

The officer who was hit, was operating on auto pilot during the first part of this event! The poor guy was in pain but took care of business, even running!! Wow! I hope he was OK and didn't have any injury that would haunt him for awhile. You never know. He was awesome!!

I felt bad listening to him in pain and still trying to do his job. Just looking at his car you could tell how horrible that crash was. I don't understand how you hit a lit up emergency vehicle!

[@antonyduhamel1166]

It said she was trying to merge when she hit him. I take that to mean she didn't want to be slowed down (or miscalculated how much room she had) and slammed the car before she realized her mistake. No one wants to brake and wait for an opening when they get caught in an occupied lane like that. I personally believe she saw an opening and accelerated to get into it but ran out of space to do so. A little common sense and a little more patience could have avoided this entire incident.

[@alyssaheller7860]

I was also wonderinf why the squad car looks unmarked. Unmarked police cars cant make traffic stops and people do not have to stop for them, even if they have red and blue flashing lights. It is a safety thing. Cops have to be in clearly marked cars and motorcycles so citizens know they are being pulled over by a real cop. And regular car with no decals with flashing red and blue lights is not legally enough. And though it happens, and cops get away with it (mainly because it is never challenged), but off duty cops cant make traffic stops. Even detectives cant make traffic stops. You actually have to be a patrol officers. Or whatever its called. Highway patrol and/or the cops that spend their days driving around in MARKED cars and motorcycles.

[@TexasRose50]

@alyssaheller7860, sorry, but you are SO wrong. Don’t know where you get that idea, but you really should ask your local, county or state highway patrol. I bet ya they will tell you differently.

@Keith Sergent but but what if it was serial killer that hit him, officer's safety 🤣🤣🤣 bootlickers but who ya gonna call to get victimized?

[@nite_driver_7895]

@Keith Sergent Let me clarify.. it was good that the other officer took over because the first officer was injured and involved in a serious incident. His actions were all justified. After you've assaulted an officer their first action must be to make sure the assailant is not going to continue to harm, neutralize, and without further info this officer didn't know if it was intentional or not, so raising his weapon was 100% reasonable.

[@nite_driver_7895]

@Keith Sergent does the officer know that immediately? Or do you know it because you've witnessed the full event?

[@PneumaNoose]

The guy who was initially pulled over, that sustained zero damage and was subsequently let go without a ticket… he drove away, lighting a joint, and never feeling luckier. The end.

[@Scratchingforcash]

I’m glad no one was killed or permanently disabled. This could’ve been so much worse. Whoever was driving that car even though they not only wrecked but wrecked into a Police Officer is a lucky person to not have killed anyone.

[@nyChannel09]

This woman had to have been on the phone there (or high on drugs)? How would she not see the cop car with lights on infront of her?

[@ollyalme]

She "thought the police car was futher right than it actually was". That, or she was actually on the phone. Doesn't really matter if she's lying or not. She has proven that she is OBVIOUSLY not fit for driving a car.

[@Noops69]

"the woman allegedly told investigators she saw the lights on the squad car, but she thought the patrol vehicle was furhter to the right than it actually was" I 100% agree though, what a dumb excuse. Distracted driving or pure selfishness of not giving the lane.

[@bluesuperman1]

Those lights can be blinding sometimes , needless to say she should have been to the left lane, but it's possible her "excuse" was truthful

[@Christenzilla]

@@Noops69 well she is 55yrs old maybe she has vision problems to where she thought the car was farther to the right when she was at a distance.

@@Christenzilla It's a 2 lane road, How would he be further to the right, without being on someones lawn? The squad car fills 70% of the lane AT LEAST, if your vision is so bad you cant see flashing lights INFRONT of you, maybe you should not be driving.
