Right in the intersection of Martin
Luther King Drive and W. Locust streets-I was traveling N.B. on Martin
Luther King Drive-almost in the middle
of the street and I had the green light....and WHAM--this speeding white
car coming from my left--through a red
light...hit my suv on the near front
side and slamming my car into a stationed-middle utility pole..
connecting the''hit'' square center
of my hood. It's being recycled,now.
(smile)In the seconds that it took for
me to thank God ''that it wasn't my time'' and the view the scene around me
and to ask myself ''what the h---
happened?''--I looked around and saw the
speeding white car-that came through
a red light--was the car that hit me.
''I be d---. And a POLICE CAR -at that.''
I asked myself, How come I didn't hear
the siren? How come I didn't see the
emergency lights? WHAT THE HECK!!!
Still, no lights are on. I looked at
the police calling for help. Doing a
reality check--I touched my radio
knob to hear if it was to loud. I love
my spiritual music but not loud.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!Their accident report
claimed another responding officer came
and turned off squad's lights. I never
saw them on. Also, to dispute that claim, they have two police as their
witness and a citizen said he saw the
squad (get this) ''inched slowly''
through the intersection and proceeded.
My car doesn't look like it was hit by
a slow-inching squad. My two witnesses
do not work at the place they listed
and gave bogus telephone numbers.Oh well! AND an officer said he came to my
emergency room and I refused to give a
statement. He wanted my full name and
he issued me a ticket for FAILING TO
YIELD TO AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE.That was
it.NO WAY DO I FEEL I SHOULD PAY THAT
TICKET. I got a court date. Everyone
says''you can't do nothing with the city
or you can't fight that. Just pay the
ticket and shut-up. Perhaps I'll have
to--but first--can't I put up a fight?
So far, the lawyers I've talked with-
won't touch my case. Any feed back?
