Saab as Police Car in Webberville MI? Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:39:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I was channel surfing last night and tuned to a "Tru Crimes" type channel just as they announced filming a SUV wreck in Webberville, MI. Since I sort of know where this is I stopped advancing channels long enough to view the vignet.
Although the Police cruiser camera view of a Ford Explorer being sideswiped at speed on the expressway, then barrel rolling down the road and into the ditch was awe inspiring (the driver was miraculously not hurt btw) what really got my attention was the final seconds of tape.
There, sitting on the expressway following the accident, was a 9-5SC with roof mounted light bar and lights flashing!
Since the date on the dashboard camera was 5-22-2006 I Googled the date and Webberville and found the tape in the CNN archives. Unfortunately, the tape had been edited to remove the final seconds which showed the 9-5.
I suppose it could have been the private car of a volunteer fireman from the Webberville area as it is somewhat rural. I did not see the name of any Police or Fire Dept Agency on the car's flanks, but the video was also slightly grainy.
