Yep, I told you so……..
Where the Hell were they racing too & why? That’s a big hit.
I saw this while I was walking out of St. James this morning. Base cop failed to yield and pulled out right in front of the car coming southbound. Glad everyone walked away!
This is the only thing that makes this accident make sense. The MP did not yield and hit the vehicle who had the right away. This is obvious.
Pax River PIO is lying to us. If the police vehicle was making a left turn from Mattapany onto 235, it would have been hit in the side. The damage shown comes from a full frontal hit.
That’s what I thought too. Physics and photographic evidence disagree with the PIO’s statement.
I thought the same thing! Pax River’s explanation doesn’t add up!
I 100% agree, the pictures of the scene don’t match with the statement released.
Absolutely correct.
The story told to base personnel doesn’t match the damages to the vehicles. The belief is that the military police aren’t being truthful and a witness stated that the SUV pulled out in front of the black car.
Dangerous intersection. Numerous accidents have occurred there. Maybe a blinking light or more signs to warm of the dangers ahead of Mattapany Road and St. James Church Road.
Ummmm, no. Need people to pay attention. Not more lights, more lights just cause more of a congestion than anything.
Speed camera are a must
And these are the guys that give you sppeding tickets on base for going 1 mile over the speed limit
Absolutely correct.
SOOOO the Pax guy pulled out in front of the black car…
I used have faith in our law offercer,
No more, They hire anyone,
Its a culture problem going to long,,
I’m afraid of them,, Praying for change.
