Doh!
Logano got into the back of Truex exiting turn 4.
I’m wondering if Chief 9B is okay? I seem to recall him being very astute and observant during a recent incident with another department and telling them that they all failed to be observant of their surroundings; all publicly available on Facebook, no less!
Wouldn’t want an investigation to find out that he wasted the tax payer dollars.
That’s gonna cost the tax payers
Motorists are supposed to yield to emergency vehicles with lights and sirens activated.
So, when both emergency vehicles are operating with sirens and lights, who yields to who?
