Used to work one day a week at the HobbyTown that was in that same strip mall and would walk to that Taco Bell to get lunch when I worked a 7-8 hour day. I saw this on the local news and thought that the place looked familiar..........now I know why!

Not sure about the phone (good possibility though), I almost wonder if the cop took the corner too fast and either got it sideways then bounced it over the curb when it grabbed which allowed it to get high enough to get on the rock with momentum taking over from there or misjudged where the driveway is (the island more of a reverse L than an I there before you get to the drive), bounced it over the curb, with the previously mentioned altitude and momentum thing taking place.

I forwarded this to a friend that I worked with there and now works for a different HTU and is a local fireman and paramedic shortly after posting this here. He texted back a couple sarcastic responses, followed by "Is that our Taco Bell?" When he recognized the building and saw the address in the article :D

Looks like hes between a rock and a hard place... :lol:

I did find it kinda funny that their internal affairs was going to be who was investigating this. It's just too bad that HTU closed, the above mentioned friend and I could have been there to see that!

Yeah, not too many excuses that'll work with that scenario.

What? "Honest, Sarge, I was just driving by when that big rock jumped out underneath me!" Nah. That's not gonna fly.

Dad is wondering if there's any video from the Taco Bell or the mall to see exactly what happened.

If there was, I think the department will make sure there isn't anymore.
