A county officer made a left turn on a red light and plowed into me. His first reaction was HE had the green light. Fortunately a witness differed with him and a city officer came and wrote him a 'failed to yield the right of way' ticket.

My vehicle was totaled.

Fortunately my wife, who was 8 months pregnant at the time, chose not to go out that night. If she'd been with me, who knows what would have happened.
