A man who was suspected of drunken driving is dead after an ironic crash.

He might not have been drunk or that drunk. The police should be more careful about where people pull over.

good riddance.

He wasn't a mass murder. He was suspected of driving under the influence. His offense hardly deserves death ... does it.

I wouldn't be surprise if the family of the man killed sues the police.

If he wasn't a drunk driver then I'm sorry. It just further stregthens my feelings about drunk drivers.

If he was, though, then I stand by my statement. I have no pity whatsoever for these idiots that go out and drink all night and then decide to get behind the wheel. I mean, what goes on in these morons' minds? Being drunk actually makes me a better driver? What if he ran over a little girl? We should give that man a medal then, huh?

BORDENTOWN TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- A man who was suspected of drunken driving is dead after an ironic crash.

Authorities in Burlington County, N.J., said an officer pulled over the 34-year-old man early Friday. But while he was being given the roadside sobriety test, a tractor-trailer crashed into the police car, which then hit the man's vehicle.

The officer was able to get out of the way but couldn't move the suspect, who died instantly.

The truck driver has been charged with drunken driving and several motor vehicle offenses.

Why would they sue the police? Why not sue the person who is actually responsible for the death...THE DRUNK DRIVER!

Exactly.

The police are not at fault.

The officer was just doing his/her job by trying to make the streets safer.

Sue the other drunk driver

If the Drunk TT Driver wasn't behind the wheel, the suspected drunk driver wouldn't have been killed. The officer couldn't be sued by anyone. a judge would dismiss it instantly. The TT driver could be sued under by the officer and the suspected driver's family. Not to mention if he was a CDL or commercial truck driver, he can no longer drive anything. Lost his license for LIFE.

I will say they could have easily taken a blood sample of the suspected driver after the accident, but what good would it have done after the fact.
