Multiple Auto Accident Videos and Dashcam Video Below
(Note: The car is an OKLAHOMA Highway Patrol vehicle in which a trooper was killed while responding to an accident call. He lost control and went broadside into a bridge column. He left behind a wife and I think one child. This happened, I think, up by Perry, Oklahoma.) Despite the hit, no fire resulted.
Presented on this page are:
* Police Chase - Wreck - Ejection - Death (R)
The first crash video shown is where a Cadillac Escalade SUV ran a red light and struck me on my door, totaling both my Camaro and the Escalade and seriously damaging 2 other vehicles my car was thrown into. The jaws were used to cut me out of what was left of the Camaro. The second crash occurred first; a van with two people who were drinking ran a stop sign and hit me square on my door, breaking my pelvic bone in three spots. That is in my video and after it (page down to see all) are the other media mentioned at the top of this page.

Two teens who had stolen a lawn mower ran when a police officer tried to pull them over. Rather than stop, they ran, right into the path of an 18-wheeler. Both were killed instantly. This is the video:
Intense Wreck - Pedestrian Struck in Crosswalk after PT Cruiser Runs Red Light
Dayton Police release dramatic video that shows an SUV landing on top of a pedestrian after a crash. It happened at West Third and Edwin C. Moses. There are cameras at the intersection to catch red light runners. They show the victim walking in the cross walk when a car and an SUV crashed. The SUV then rolled over onto the pedestrian. Police say it all started when the driver of a PT Cruiser ran a red light and slammed into the SUV. At least one passerby witnessed the crash and called 9-1-1. Police say the drivers got away with minor injuries. But the pedestrian, 43-year-old Scott Tegtmeyer was critically injured. Now, prosecutors are taking a close look at the video to determine what charges the driver of the PT Cruiser could face. Investigators say analysis of the video has already revealed some crucial factors. Police say the light had been red for 28 seconds when the PT Cruiser entered the intersection. They say Tegtmeyer should not have been crossing the street at the time because the crosswalk signal was red. Amazingly, investigators also say that the massive dent left on the side of the SUV, caused by the impact of the crash, created a hollow space that kept Tegtmeyer from being crushed to death as the vehicle rolled over him.
Tegtmeyer was listed in serious condition Monday night. So far, no charges have been filed. The last I heard Mr. Tegtmeyer was going to be ok and would recover.
Accident Videos with Law Enforcement courtesy of the Highway Patrol To follow are six crashes caught on dash cams. If you are traveling on the freeway in a lane near the shoulder and a cop has someone pulled over, the law in most states now specifies that you need to reduce your speed to nearly half the normal speed (check your local state laws). Unless you move over to the next lane (if possible) from the lane the officer is in, in which case you don't have to reduce your speed (again, check your states laws). Because of idiot drunks and those that are unaware of the law, it is dangerous to slow down to half the posted speed on the freeway because you could be rear ended yourself, so the best advice is to move over a lane where you are not required to slow down. I spoke to an officer once and he said the flashing lights are almost like a magnet for drunks - they tend to drive right at them. Last night in Dallas a fire truck with its lights on was rear ended by a drunk. The fire engine was there to protect the officers working a wreck. Within 15 minutes another drunk rear ended that drunk at the same site. It is unbelievable. In Dallas now any accidents on the freeway require that a Dallas Fire Department Ladder truck park before the wreck to block the road. Anyhow, here are 5 videos of those that did not slow down or change lanes and instead flew into the back of officers with vehicles pulled over on the freeway. NOTE: For larger video (sometimes) right click on any video window, left click on Zoom and then select "Full Screen" or "200%" to see larger version of the video or to view video full screen.

Vehicles with Highest Death Rate - Formerly the Camaro The passenger car with the highest death rate? The tiny GEO Metro, not surprisingly, but the Pontiac Sunfire runs a close second. The passenger car with the lowest death rate is the Infinity J30, with the Dodge Caravan a close second. The Chevrolet Camaro previously had the highest death rate, and the Corvette held that title for a long time, but for some reason it has been omitted from the IIHS tables the past few years. (Probably because those historically have been the fastest production cars available to the masses. SS) First Responder Extreme Crash SeriesI am producing a video series on DVD and VHS that will be released shortly. For a six month period I was doing a first responder test for some ideas, and utilizing a database that captured all major accident calls in Dallas, I began parking my vehicle in strategic positions in the City of Dallas. This resulted in some amazing video footage. Monitoring the Dallas Fire Department Website and a scanner that monitored both Dallas Police and Fire Department radio calls, I began responding to accident scenes of serious accidents and accidents requiring the jaws of life to remove victims. Due to the strategic placement I was able to arrive either shortly before or simultaneously with emergency vehicles. This resulted in some amazing footage that I shot as I arrived and documented both the scene and the extraction where the jaws of life were utilized. I am currently editing this footage into a 3 DVD/VHS tape set that I will begin offering on my website. I will charge a nominal price for these with a reduced amount when purchasing the whole set. Some of the things you will see in the tape are:

Mustang Rear Ended and Burst Into Flames After the Ford Pinto and the rear end explosions that killed quite a few people, Ford still seems to be having vehicle fire problems. The video below was filmed by me in Dallas after a vehicle stalled on the freeway in the fast lane and was rear ended moments after stalling before he could get out. His new Mustang burst into flames, tragically, killing the young driver. Part of the Extreme Crash DVD Series I am working on currently. Have a look:

Belligerent Drunk Introduced to a Stun Taser Multiple Times, or what I like to call, Drunk versus Taser (The cop tried hard to do it the easy way.)
After viewing this tape many times, I have come to the conclusion that the drunks strategy was to try and run the officers batteries down and then launch an attack of biblical proportions.
