    Am I reading this wrong? The family car turned in front of the Sherriff car — how are they responsible for the family father for not waiting for the SUV to clear before going into the intersection.

      I, too, was going to point out what Andrew said, which was in the article too, where the SUV was traveling without its lights or sirens on, but didn’t know they were more than doubling the speed limit as well. Just because you’re in a cop car does not automatically give you the right of way.

      Snarky comment: with the cost of US healthcare, presuming the child lives until she’s 70, is $12.5M (presuming 1/3rd in atty’s fees) really enough to cover 60 years of around-the-clock care?

    I read the local paper. Seems the Deputy was traveling 84 mph in a 35 mph zone without his flashers or sirens. He was responding to a Code 3 (fight in progress) and is required to have his lights and siren going.
