Prayers for a State Trooper

[rockin86ranger]

I don't yet know who it is and what condition they're in, but on my way to supper tonight i was passed by about 5 first responders and i came upon a crash where a car had rolled close to 60 yards off the highway and was almost touching somebody's house on its roof. The further i drove from the scene the more first responders i saw, there where probably close to 30 of them in all. On my way back from supper I drove back by the crash site and there was a state trooper issued Charger on the back of a rollback all tore up. The only thing i can figure is he was chasing someone and as he came through the first part of the "S" curve he lost it as he tried to regain control he over corrected and rolled off the highway. It looked like he must have been doing atleast 90mph when he left the road.

This accident occured just north of the Greene County Arkansas line just inside of Clay county.

I will keep this updated but keep this trooper in your prayers.

They say his injuries aren't life threatening. but i think this article is complete crap because theres not way you end in a wreck like that when you're just entering a highway, he made it over a ditch, hit a tree and was still a good ways off the highway on his roof. Unless he was a little bit down the road and pulled out to pull someone over and got on it pretty hard

People walk away from the worst accidents. My thoughts are rooting for him!

While prayers are forwarded, so is a quote from Clint Eastwood:

"A man has GOT to know his limitations"

Seems he found his, I hope he benefits from the lesson.

It's believed that he may have experienced a medical emergency causing him to lose control of his patrol car.

That puts a different spin on it.

Prayers are out! Tough job out there. Had a couple up here while writing out a ticket or sitting in the car and getting rear-ended.

I was thinking the same thing. It just sounds iffy to me. None the less I hope he will be ok.
