    Sign on back of truck – priceless.

  6. Arrest that truck says:

    Obviously it jumped out in front of him and he didn’t have a chance to avoid it!

  7. TopRida says:

    People like this should not be on the road lol

  8. Triangle Drifter says:

    And he hits where it is what amounts to a 3 lane one way road. Gotta hear this one when he explains it to the judge.

  9. US Observer says:

    I thought no vehicles are suppose to be parked there “anyvay” in my Bermudian voice.

    • Loading Zone says:

      Now blame the truck. Use your Bermudian eyes. Don’t you see the Loading Zone markings? Look at where it happened. What if just a few yards beyond there were departing visitors?

    Unbelievable, smdh

  11. Tuba says:

    Appealing for witnesses??? For real?

  12. FOR REAL? says:

    How many officers does it take to deal with such a stupid incident? Survey says?..

    • Triangle Drifter says:

      I count 5 including the brass. A bit much for a RTA inna?

    • Baba Bracksheep says:

      Survey says…… 23.

      Surely an incursion of this magnitude would warrant deployment of the Emergency Services Camper (oh, I mean ‘Command Center’). Honestly BPS, get the prioritization right, will ya?

    • Aquarius says:

      my thoughts exactly! why were 5 officers needed for this simple thing??? or is this a case of looky-loos popping over to see if they recognise their ace boy?

  13. Where do I "BUY BDA" says:

    Maybe he was trying to make out the telephone number on the back of the truck to call in. They should change the sign from How’s my Driving to “How’s your Reading”

  14. Aquarius says:

    ooooh maybe this was a planned distraction to get the cops attention while they unloaded a package from a plane eh?
