Dog pictured is not the culprit, he prefers riding shotgun - a good dog!
This is definitely one accident report I would be loathe to fill out and submit.
A veteran of the Seattle Police Department had served without injury for 26 years. I doubt he expected to meet his near-Waterloo Tues while flagging traffic in congested Seattle. Far from hiding, with lights flashing and traffic cones in place, in an instant he was hit by a Dodge sedan. The impact was such that he was sent rolling onto the car, then off - where the car proceeded to
roll over his legs before the female driver slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, his severe injuries weren't life threatening. One would expect perhaps a drunk at the wheel, or an unconscious driver. Nay, the weeping woman who presumably was the driver ironically said she was en route to a Department of Licensing Office when her four-month old Pit Bull Cockie, of course, needing to check the driver's side window did the deed. "My dog started to mosey over to the window and she stepped on the wheel and made it jerk." Personally, I hope Cockie will be able to smooth things over for her in traffic court.
