considering i watched the accident happen.. I just have to say... People really need to pay attention when they hear sirens.... the officer had slowed down at the intersection prior to entering it... and it's a telling sign when the woman in the vehicle was sitting there with an airbag deployed with cell phone in hand doing what looked like texting.
