That's what I was thinking. It also seems like a very strange accident. There seems to be little damage to either car but the police car needed to have it's roof cut off.Apparently the police car that was hit was stationary.. well that was a bloody stupid place to park wasn't it?
There, fixed that for you! :tup:The reason they cut the roof off is for extraction of the occupant. The car is considered sacrificial IF A COMPO CLAIM IS IN THE OFFING
I had this discussion with my wife a while ago and said no matter how a person looks after an accident do not let them sit in the car to "recover". They can sit on the road as far as I care.Was chatting a couple of weeks ago, with other recovery guys, and got talking about how the fire brigade seem to have got into the habit of cutting roofs off around our area. This has increased a lot in the last couple of years. To the point that the Police around here will not let you sit in their cars , after an accident (unless arrested of course), for fear that the roof choppers cut their roof off, once you have got your thoughts together, and claim whiplash, bad back, etc., as this has happened more then a few times !!
I see, thank you, although I suspect stu's post may be slightly more accurate.The reason they cut the roof off is for extraction of the occupant. The car is considered sacrificial if spinal injuries are feared.
Thats great news.i recon mobile phones must be the biggest cause off accidents these days.There seems to be a craze now where people driving past accidents feel the need to use their smartphones to take pictures so they can put them on Faceache/Twitter etc, while attending a recent accident the Northamptonshire Police noticed that a lot of drivers were taking photos as they drove past so the Police got their camera out and took photos of the offenders and are now seeking prosecutions against those people.
