Ottawa County Sheriff - Ottawa County Deputy Sheriff Association

On September 5th, 2006 Sgt. Rich Kelly of the Indiana State Police had pulled over a semitrailer on the shoulder of northbound I-65 about a mile north of Indiana 28 and was inspecting it from his patrol car when a semi driven by Francisco Gallegos Jr., 25, Milwaukee, WI slammed into the car, crunching it against the other rig, police said. The crash left the cruiser partially wedged under one of the trucks and both its front and rear ends nearly disintegrated.

Kelly suffered a fractured vertebrae and required surgery to fuse his fifth and sixth vertebrae. He returned to duty in January following four months of rehabilitation.

Unfreakin real!

The man upstairs was with the trooper that day.

matter of time before this happens to one of us sitting out on these roads/highways during one of our famous storms, and the idiot citizenry continue to fly by us as if its an 80 degree summer day.....
