George Driving
Here's the narrative part of the State Police accident report for George's wreck of the Lafourche Parish Emergency Preparedness truck on August 24, 2005:
"STATE OE LOUISIANA
UNIFORM MOTOR VEHICLE TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT
NARRATIVE/DIAGRAM
Vehicle 1 was Traveling W/B on LA 182. Vehicle 2 was S/B on LA 316. Vehicle l was a Lafourche Parish Vehicle (Non- Emergency) that was being operated with emergency lights and sirens. Vehicle 1 was attempting to enter the Intersection when it was struck by vehicle 2.
Driver 1 stated that he was in a convoy that was following the LA. Governor. When traffic got stopped, he tried to keep the convoy moving by entering the Intersection with emergency lights and siren. He stated that he never saw vehicle 2 prior to entering the Intersection. All of a sudden he was struck by vehicle 2.
Driver 2 stated that he was S/B on LA 316 when he was struck by vehicle 1. He stated that when he saw vehicle 1, he didn't have time to stop."
That narrative is contained in report number 8557077. George was Driver 1 and charged with careless operation. Wonder if the ticket was paid? By whom? The Parish?
The Council authorized the payment of $15,805.37 for the other driver's vehicle damage. Prescription has not run yet. So, the other driver may sue for personal injuries. The damages to our vehicle was around $2,000.00 according to the Comet.
Below is a diagram of the accident from the report:

Is this picture dipicting that the vehicle #1 passed around the stopped vehicle and continued in the intersection? Is not vehicle #1 Chauffer George and Ms. President?
Right, George took the shoulder to get around the vehicle stopped at the stop light.
Did Chauffer give up his right to the road when he crossed over the white (fog) line? Then he entered the road way illegally and was not authorized to run a motor vehicle with emergency lights and siren, is those two not against the law or can anyone run down the road with lights and sirens in unmarked vehicles? Doesn't the vehicle have to also have a visual emergency light that is visable 360 degrees, I think that is the law too. Where is the prosecution?
