Police said the girls were riding in the backseat of the sedan as it cruised about 65 mph on the 55 mph highway in Carroll County. They pulled onto Highway 27 at Bowden Junction, just south of Interstate 20, in front of the state trooper, who crashed into the back of the sedan. Lindsey, who did not have her seatbelt on, was thrown from the car.
It's his third car crash involving "misjudged clearance," Georgia State Patrol spokesman Capt. Mark Perry told WSB-TV.

This is why I have a zero tolerance policy for any mistakes by law enforcement. I don't care if the broken law was littering.
