JE I hope your brother recovers and gets a good lawyer to make sure they pay!!!
The pedestrian that was struck, happens to be my brother. The police got all of the information WRONG! He DOES have life threatening injuries, and he was off the side of the road not near it. And what else the police forgot to mention, was that there was tire tracks in the grass on the side of the road. And how ironic that they don’t show the picture of the front of the cruiser which hit my brother. They only show the cruiser that hit the other cruiser from behind and the back of the cop car. They did not show the front of the car. I was AT THE SCENE 5 minutes after it happened, and the car was totalled. And to that person who wrote a comment above me… There’s nothing wrong with walking down the street! He wasn’t in the road at all. Police need to watch where they are going!
oh don’t tell me that pedestrians are exempt from the “move over law”
