Ok...that's some good police work there, buddy!

Police wrote an accident report after Theisen disappeared, saying he had walked away from the scene, his wife said. She said the tow truck driver who hauled off Theisen's car did not see him.

Ya' think the police could have at least looked around a little???

Maybe they learned something and will look more next time. I hope he gets movement back.

Like cb, I wonder why they didn't look around at least a little bit.

I wonder how different it would be if he had gotten help right away?

****! Just got stopped with the cops. Done for not wearing a seatbelt. That's the law here. It does prevent a lot of more serious injuries in crashes, so i should take it as a warning, and belt up. Literally and metaphorically.


How is it in the States, does seat belts, motor-cycle helmets, etc apply in every State? Or, is it just here in the UK?

Here in Florida its the law to have all passengers buckled up.BUT,motorcycle helmuts is an option.You dont have to wear one.Now the leader of the group that helped pass that helmut option thing was killed a few months later in an accident when he lost control and slammed his head on the pavement.

Ya think this cop needs a little work on his Life Saving Steps?
