I'm sure he was cited for "driving too fast for conditions", just like anyone on this board would have been in the same situation.

At this point, I doubt he (the cop) was cited for anything.

What's the speed limit on the road he was traveling when the accident occurred? Was there an oil slick on the road? Did his gas pedal stick to the floor (no wait, it couldn't have... he wasn't driving a Toyota )?

Just making a point that we don't know any details surrounding this incident, so probably better to hold off on ripping the guy a new one, until we do.

That is one Crown Vic that won't fetch much at the police vehicle resale yard.

Possibly. But we don't know that, based on the article.

Yes I would agree, for sure insane speeds.

But that has nothing to do with a cop being cited like a civilian. Obviously he might face other actions by his department and superiors.
