Gwinnett County, GA — Earlier this year, Sarah Wood was stuck in rush hour traffic on I-85, driving just 6 mph, when her life would be forever changed. One moment, she is idling down the interstate in traffic and the next, more than a month later, she would wake up in the hospital, having been in a coma. She was struck by a cop who was not paying attention and who was driving 70 mph when he smashed his car into hers. He wasn’t paying attention because he was distracted by Grand Theft Auto playing in his cruiser. Seriously.
This would be 8th at-fault crash in which Gwinnett County police Officer Todd Ramsey would be involved. But his negligence back on April 1 would be his worst.
Despite putting an innocent woman in a coma while playing a Grand Theft Auto video, Ramsey would only receive a citation for “following to closely.”
When his fellow cops showed up to the scene, body camera video shows they appeared to be more concerned with Ramsey than the innocent woman he nearly killed.
“How you holding up, boss?” asked an officer on police body camera video. Police then try to find out who he hit, but Ramsey can’t tell them.
“Do you know what car it is? He says he doesn’t know,” said an officer.
Ramsey had no idea who he hit because he wasn’t even looking where he was going. Instead, he was paying attention to Grand Theft Auto playing on his police laptop. It was still playing when other officers showed up.
As the cops make sure their fellow officer is okay, Sarah Wood is slowly dying inside her car. Ramsey hit her so hard that personal items from her trunk ended up inside his patrol car.
“I was sitting in traffic and pretty much next thing I knew, I woke up in the hospital. I don’t remember anything after that,” Wood said.
“I don’t believe there was any attempt to stop or swerve because he didn’t see her because he wasn’t looking,” said Wood’s attorney, Susan Witt.............https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cop-with-7-at-fault-crashes-playing-grand-theft-auto-before-smashing-into-woman-nearly-killing-her/257568
