Rescue 911 - Episode 214 - "Hurt Highway Lt."

[OneHawaiianHaoleChic]

fined $50 -- thats it??? wow....

[hookerdreamz]

fifty dollars? damn...if my life was only worth fifty damn dollars to a judge i dont think i'd be very happy

[Y0uEnj0yMyself]

I think the guy who hit him should have had a 10,000 dollar fine, 1 year in prison and 1000 hours community service.

[PRODRIGO83]

never turn your back....

i give this lesson to everybody

[MONSTER12345ize]

why the hell is he only fined $50

[lovinps]

It all depends on if he was under the influence, or just in a hurry and was deeply sorry and sympathetic... remember this is the US, a country built on feelings not book rules... if we are to live in this country we must honor it`s foundation

[StefanoFan27]

wow, the great new york city.

[Medic48]

Unsafe Lane Change? I think there were plenty of other charges that could of been levied (Careless/Reckless/Dangerous Driving, Assault on a Police Officer/Public Servant, Disobey Police Officer, Drive on Closed Lane, Speeding!).

I'm sure however, the guilt has chewed him up on the inside.

[One3teen]

$50 Dollars??? Hes not going to learn anything!!

[jediskunk67]

why didn't that guy just stop? was he i n a hurry or something?

[biskie03]

The guy in the car was fined $50.??!! WTF is that all about?? Should've gotten a lot more than that!

[MomentOfReason]

I admire this police man's will to live.

[joshguy64]

Both this segment and the "Heart attack crash" segment proves that even today, there are so many idiot people on the road that drive at excessive high speeds, they disregard the rules of the road, they dont pay attention to whats in front of them, and they do not give a fuck about road emergencies or flashing lights and sirens behind or in front of them.

Why is the world so fucked up when it comes to driving on the road?

[One3teen]

So true, people say they do it to "same time" How muich time will you really save? 5 Minutes? THe $50 dollar fine is not near enough, but at least the driver has to live with the fact that he ripped the officers leg off.

[cbright99]

he should have been charged for reckless driving, assault of a police officer with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. 7 to 10 years for a prison term. $50 fine what a joke.

[MomentOfReason]

The guy who got fined shouldve gotten fined more than fifty freaking dollars. Obviously the cars were lined up for a reason. You want to be reckless like that, you need to pay the price.

[skimx99]

my dad had his car smashed in from passenger side door to driver door (patrol car), he was blocking the road for a car accident on the gwb and a guy decided not to stop, wish you could post pics in this comment, scariest thing you could see, thank god him and his partener werent in the car

[wedge41388]

GWB do you mean the George Washington Bridge in NYC, if so, then is it just me or is there always some sort of accident on that bridge, its as if they designed the bridge with a car accident built into it.....at least your dad and his partner were ok

[UmaakuKyarorin]

That woman really loves her husband, spending all nights and days in the hospital to be by his side. That´s love <3

[jediskunk67]

I'll bet the cop was hit by a drunk driver.

[lafiabaturia]

I just can't believe how some people drive in the presence of emergency workers and that people don't even pull over when emergency workers need to get by...just wait till it's your family member in an accident and you find out that you didn't pull over in time delaying the first help on scene.

[1976MUSTANG]

kinda funny when you realize that $50 back then is like $50,000 today, also, thank god for modern medical tech.

[1976MUSTANG]

lol, i meant to say $5,000 and not $50,000.

[eastenderticats14]

lol yea i was jsut gunna say its not 500 times as much but yea maybe around 5k

lol i got a laugh out of it when he said $50 without laughing

[KevinCerovich]

Wait a few months

[allgood2000]

I don't think $50 was like $5,000 back in 1988. Maybe like $75 to $100.

[ZMommaL56]

@allgood2000 Really? I' don't think $50 is enough for a crime like that. It should be more.

[callofdutyzombie95]

no 50,000 would be like 45,500 today

[Drolan77]

50.00 fine and I hope he never forgets what he did to another person and his family and I hope it haunts him until the day he dies and then after.

[foxstriker10]

You wouldn't be driving that fast if there was a car wreck. They said that the speed limit is about 10 miles per hour. That guy was going way past the limit!

[KittyKarryAll]

What was that crazy driver thinking???? He should have been convicted of attempted vehicular manslaughter!

[travelplus1]

gas gas

[killman369547]

only 50 bucks thats just retarded see this is how flawed the system is 50 buck fine for attempted murder am i making any sense (retorical question)

[davidlee110]

$50???

back then is was nuts

but now, is same as musicianforjesus say

[PredatorBrendan]

Only fined $50? That is so stupid. I kind of wish they hadn't mentioned about what happened to the driver of the car that hit that police lieutenant.

[musicianforjesus]

He shouldn't have been fined $50.00. Maybe $5000.00 and put in prison.

[dave11686]

Why the guy that hit him never got charged with attempted murder is beyond me. WTF?!

[KittyKarryAll]

I agree!

[dave11686]

Yep, I remember seeing it on TV when it came out when I was a kid...really sad.

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

He should have been dragged from his car by his hair & scalped.

[maciek1217]

My cousin who is the police oficer in Poland had a similar accident at duty.He and his partner were hit by a drunk driver.Cousin is ok but his partner is paralyzed from the neck down.The driver was sentenced to 6 years in prison for causing the accident drink.This paralyzed oficer was only 20 years old and he has a entire live ahead.Now he cannot move.

[xoxmissamandax3]

wow $50. seriously? tht just pisses me off.

[xxxViiKatexxx]

$50?? that's fucking ridiculous! you'd think it happened here in Canada, where serial murderers can get off with a slap on the wrist. but seriously, that's ridiculous, you'd think a cop being hit by some impatient asshole would get more of a punishment than a little tap on the ass

[Bandos624]

also racist

[Bandos624]

steven2be2003, ur a horrible cruel person

[steven2be2003]

50 dollars? probly was a white person..if it had have been a nigga he would have gotten life..fuck the system!!

[mylisa07]

go fuck yourself you racist prick.

[WebbyOwnage]

Wow, Fifty Dollars. Thats like, 30 Pounds? Wow. Astonishing. I'm sure its Hit and run, since he didn't stop, and also... speeding, wow.. I can;t even think of charges. I'm so glad the Trooper lives, and do you know what job he does part time? Is he like a Dispatcher or something? He's like a Hero for me. I'm so glad he damn lived! WELL DONE FOR PULLING THROUGH! "Live life to the Full".

[csifan18]

No, his car came to a stop...if you pause at 2:40, the car that hit the Lieutenant is right there...

[happy7117]

Unsafe lane changing?? More like speeding realy fast around the cars.

[TurgeonFan77132]

That is a complete joke...

[CNrailfan50]

lol so true... i bet he was happy taking is leg and not going to jail!

[pilotmatt87]

$50?!!

That's a HIT AND RUN!

[babybookworm003]

i agree why only 50$ guy should of gotten 5-10 years

[cowgirllightning]

well at least the trooper lived, there was a woman not long ago that had actually killed an officer while she was speeding and only had to pay $310 in traffic fines and she was released.

[38crush]

Yeah I agree, 50$ doesn't seem like enough. It was probably because it was seen as an accident and not as having been done on purpose, but even still it's like manslaughter, so I agree. Someone had to have been in an awefully good mood to let him get off with 50$ because he deserved more for sure.

[CJ5797]

if it was maryland it would be a serious charge

[stewierulez256]

well yeah if i was him i would have done it!

[maplewood4]

yes

[maplewood4]

yes

[shooff34]

Even though it seems like he should have gotten a worse punishment, he has to live with taking a mans leg the rest of his life.

[SailorKitty]

wait!!! hes was fine $50 dollars he should have went to jail he hurt a cop. thats not rite at all he should have went to jail

[lirr56890]

he had to retire and did the driving get charge.

[danielkang1234]

He got only a $50 Dollar Fine!

Moron, dont you listen to the end parts?

[idkjames]

you couldn't charge him with attempted murder b/c he didn't intentionally target anyway the charge would be Wreckless endangerment

[gregorkrause]

Here's something I noticed with the animated policecar the yellow light is visible it's usually not visible in most segments.

[gregorkrause]

actually it seems bigger than smaller.

[filychezstak]

i laffed so hard wen they said the fine was 50 bucks!

[Search4Struve]

$50???!!! Is that it?! If I was an officer on scene I would have shot the guy dead for that. Attempted murder, cos he knew what he was doing could hurt or even kill someone! Just one shot to the head would have brought true justice.

[kthomasson]

The m beep beep almost killed him and he got a 50 dollar fine? What did the idiot think was happening the traffic back and the flares going. Shows how then and now our criminal justice system is still screwed up in a lot of ways

[skiljathegirl]

Stupid people who think they can just go around a line of standing cars... there has to be a reason for them standing there...makes me angry...careless selfish drivers...

[Sophiee2]

THAT WAS NO ACCIDENT! >;[

[khonlaox]

guy should have got life

[PoliceFireEMS]

my parents work @ GPD and I know most of the cops in this video!

[CJ5797]

i agree all of u that said he should got jail time not the $50 ticket

[MetalSanke]

he should of gotten 5-10 years and been forced to pay the medical expenses.

[chrisz71]

at least that would have been better than what he DID get.

[happy7117]

The guy who hit Jim should be in prison. Sick that he only had to pay $50

[evilwonton]

50 dollars!!!!!!!!! wtf thts attempted man slaughter

[chrisz71]

Ok, this is one that has stayed with me through the years- just seeing him take his leg off and dive in the pool was just... unnerving I guess when I was little. as it was back then when I saw this, and it is now as I type this, it makes my joints hurt- just thinking about that!

[icehorse1010]

i rmember seeing this viode when i was a kid. I always felt bad for the cop. My dad is a state trooper, and now all grown up, i hope that that the guy that hit that nice cop, he feels really bad and hope he hates himslef.

Just a speeding ticket? maybe back then, but now its more.

[chrisz71]

yeah, now it's like attempted murder of a police officer, and that is a HUGE penalty!

[MetalSanke]

Actually, that was a accident so it would be criminal negligence and careless driving.

[chrisz71]

what are the consequences of that?

It seems that you have an accident of any sort- you're the one to go to jail!

[MetalSanke]

Well, the pelentey for that should fo been alot more sever then a $50 fine! He freaking blew a mans leg off!

[Maryanne247]

50 bucks? Thats it? a speeding ticket costs more. I thought the dude would have atleast been thrown in jail for a week geeze. Poor cop how sad.

[Lubylove818]

this eppy idk why..

but it always stuck to me.

[Celynny]

I have watched every episode you have put up on Youtube...all 50 million of them.

I have to say, with the exception of one (well, maybe two) other episodes, this one angers me the most.

I can't believe the guy essentially got away with this. Eugh. Poor Cop.

[CJ5797]

that made me so ANGRY that if was there i would have beat the $#!* of of the driver that hit the cop

[Huddleupgurlz07]

Poor Cop!

[princessbob27]

50 dollars???? THE COP IS MISSING A LEG AND HE GETS FINED ONLY 50 DOLLARS??

[arab4u]

dude wtf???? $50 only???? man now days if u get a dwi its like $500 dollars and he was driving fast and hit a freakin police officer wthhhh i just cant get over how he only had to pay $50 and he ruined a mans life he may look like hes ok wit it but come on now u know he still feels sorry for himself

[happy7117]

How were they able to nail the guy who hit Jim when the car was speeding so recklessly fast?

They could have gotten the license plate number, but he was moving too fast for any cop to write it down.

[allgood2000]

I don't think the driver left the scene.

[happy7117]

That fool should be in prison. $50 is nothing!

The car was speeding too fast to get a liscence plate number though.

Jim should have found the guy after this accident and show the guy his artificial leg to show him the damage he did.

And then-arrest him!

[alextact]

$50... what an insult to the injured officer. Reminds me of a recent incident in Australia where a cyclist killed an elderly pedestrian after running a red light, and only copped a $210 fine. IMHO, break any law on the road causing a serious injury or death should = automatic prison term.

[jimmyhird]

That incident occurred just around the corner of me in Mentone. I would often see that old guy walking along the beach, and for that cyclist to be fined only $200 is disgusting.

[gregorkrause]

speaking of this accident, have you read anything or know of any info relating to the carcrash we see in the intro that took place at nighttime?

[itsalleternal]

Shatner said no one was injured in the initial accident.

[allgood2000]

Gregor is talking about a different crash shown the Rescue 911 introduction that was never featured in a Rescue 911 segment.

[gregorkrause]

by the way the old and season 6-7 intro is on here you'll see what I mean about the accident at night if you watch carefully.

[davinp]

Gee the driver who almost killed the officer had to pay only $50 - what a stingy punishment.

[razgrizaceblaze259]

That's what I'm saying. He should have had a more severe punishment than having to pay $50. He was damn lucky.

[itsalleternal]

I believe in most states nowadays such an act in a criminal matter is an automatic prison sentence of at least 10-15 years.

[razgrizaceblaze259]

That driver is one hell of an idiot. He severed a policeman's leg because he was trying to get around the line of stopped cars. I think he was damn lucky that he got away with only having to pay $50.

[38crush]

And I forgot to add that 50 bucks doesn't even begin to cover the Hospital bills. However, I'm sure he's got some kind of medical coverage.

[goreds03]

more moew lz we like more this show rocks

[Courtx0xhollisterx3]

I love these episdoees :) I love how everything is happy at the end. Thanks for uploading!!

[razgrizaceblaze259]

Actually, you are mostly right with that statement. True, almost all of the episodes have happy endings. However, in Episode 520 - "Butane Huffing", the victim dies in the end. So, not every episode has a happy ending.

[davinp]

Their was an eposide where a scuba diver died. So, I can only think of 3 eposides where someone died.

[allgood2000]

I think there are about 20 where people die (and a few where an animal dies).

[happy7117]

There was the elderly lady who dies after her and her husbands car gets hit by the boxcar. Not pleasant.

Detective Bob Wallace who got struck while getting out of his car by that maniac bank robber in the two-tone blazer. Very vague.

[happy7117]

We can't forget the psycho Scott who gets shot by that cop in the "too intense" segment.

[NDW85]

Was the dude who hit Jim Pucci drunk or was he just in a hurry? I have often wondered if he suffered any injuries in the crash.

[DramaLover4u]

Thanks SOO much allgood! I love watching these. <3
