A police officer is cut from his mangled cruiser after slamming into a fire truck on Interstate 75.

Richmond Officer Stephen Parker wasn't seriously hurt. Parker was responding to a crash at mile marker 88 just after 10 saturday morning when he crashed into a fire truck, which was also heading to the scene. He did have to be cut out of his vehicle.

Parker was taken to Pattie A. Clay Hospital for observation, but is expected to recover.

Doug hit the nail on the head. Here is a small change in your comment though. RULE #1 One Emergency Vehicle shall never pass another without having radio permission from the other Emergency Vehicle to do so. That is how our SOPs are worded. I never have understood why the cops want to go around the fire trucks and ambulances when going to the scene. Some just want their appearance to be known and to be first. Others just like to drive too fast. Not saying that this cop was or anything like that. Just a general statement.

I can't believe some of this stuff I am reading. I happen to be the wife of officer Parker. He loves his job, and is very devoted to what he does. Things happen and this was an ACCIDENT. I am amazed how people can comment & make accusations about things or people that they obviously dont even KNOW!! For those of you that have posted care & concern, on behalf of our family...THANK YOU. As for the rest, I will keep you in my prayers. That you will not pass judgement on others that you dont even know anything about.

Yes the people who always are negative, are usualy the ones who think the law dont apply to them, so dont worry about it Parker, keep doing the right thing, and let the rest go away
