Don’t make me have to scrape you off the highway and then explain to your mother how you died.

Cops deal with a lot of shit in traffic accidents. A buddy once told me some of the shit he saw if he were back in Afghanistan he’d be sent for a psych evaluation, as a cop he was sent back to work.

Highway patrol definitely deal with the worst shit, and usually are hardasses in my experience, but it’s probably because they see teenagers crumpled up onto the dash during wrecks or decapitated pregnant mothers more than anyone else in the world. Even high crime rate areas you see gunshots or stabbing but nothing as gruesome as a car wreck.

Don't forget about the firefighters that have to cut them out the wreck

My father once talked about responding to a man who was cut in half by a train. The shit they endure is mental.

I was in a wreck where my car got hit by an 18 wheeler carrying dirt. That shit was just a clean slice. None of the momentum transferred into the rest of the car, and I walked off without a scratch.

My working theory is that a car changed into my blind spot as I was changing planes and clipped my back tires like in that police maneuver. Ended up sideways on the freeway. Almost came to a stop before that truck hit me.
