But I know Kevin Dobson

After leaving work yesterday around 5:20, I came to the light at Sheridan and Main St. in clarence. I heard tires screech with a bang. I looked over on Sheridan to see a 05 corvette collided with a Chevy pick up. Now at the time I was heading home to stop at my buddies fathers house to work on a car. (he watches his 98 year old grandmather while his father goes out 2 days a week) I kept looking over at the car while the light was red saying “please tell me its not” Sure enough, it was my buddies father who was in the Vette.

I pulled into the Walgreens parking lot and called my buddy to give him the news. His father was ok and walking around. Talked with him to calm him a little and make sure he had a way back home.

The accident happened when the pickup went across 4 lanes of traffic from Riteaid to a trailer park. “I looked and didnt see anyone, then went and next thing I know I got smacked in the side” His father being the nice guy he is said to the trooper it was his fault because he couldnt stop in time. Obviously thats not the case. Failure to yeld is the problem at hand and the pickups fault.

So I left to get gas and follow him home to make sure he would make it all the way with no issues. When I got back to his house, I was filled in that the kid (20 yrs old) got a ticket and that he decided that it would be a great idea to drop the name of a state trooper. The part that really made this kid an asshole and disrespectful person, came when he dropped the name of Deceased State Trooper Kevin Dobson.

Not sure what the trooper said to him, but from what I heard the trooper got a little pissed.

Shitty part for my buddies father, he just got the vette back 6 months ago from hitting a deer.

I had a really really tough time reading this. Still slightly confused but sorry to hear about your friends Vette.

Holy irrelevant details

Your buddies dad should stop hitting shit.

That is a sucky story, I feel bad for him.

5

So the kid dropped Dobson’s name as if he were still alive?

Also…why claim fault on an accident?

6

So your insurance doesn’t go up?

I told my buddy that one and he laid into his father about that. Its illegal to cross 4 lanes of traffic to go from one driveway to the other.

LZ - I gave the whole story because it was about me being in the right place at the right time for someone whos house I was just going to be heading too. I put 2 and 2 together and realized it was his father and kept looking to see to make sure and found out when he got out of the car. I’m also a nice person to which I stopped to make sure the guy was ok.

You laugh, but I bet you half the people on this forum would have kept going and not taking 40 minutes of their time.

Weird- many years ago my dad was in a pretty much identical accident, right down to the pickup, the cutting across multiple lanes, and the deceased cop. The only difference was the guy who he hit was the son of said cop, so they assigned my dad fault even though he was 100% in the right.
