A MIRACLE FOR AN INDIANA STATE TROOPER

Today Sgt. Rich Kelly of the Lafayette Post life was spared today. He was sitting along side I-65 conducting a traffic stop when another semi-tractor pulling a flatbed ran over the top of his police car. Sgt. Kelly sustained a broken vertebrae but was able to exit his car,and use his cell telephone to call for help. The driver that struck him was going too fast and locked his brakes up thus losing control. The crash is still under investigation. When you look at the photos you realize only by the grace of God Sgt. Kelly life was spared.Rich and his wife have 4 young daughters.
It is hard to believe that Sgt.Kelly survived this crash and may get out of the hospital sometime today. He was in the car at the time of the crash. The driver he stopped was placed Out Of Service for violations and the driver that struck him was operating on poor brakes on the trailer,

: THANKS NAFTA :
