THIRD ALTERNATIVE

Two police officers have been charged with professional misconduct in relation to a collision that destroyed two cars. The destruction of the cars occurred as a result of the officers having engaged in a high-speed pursuit of a Mazda 626.

The pursuit ended in a collision which involved not only the pursued, highly prized teal-blue Mazda 626 but also a vehicle believed to have been a latest model Holden Captiva SX AWD, metallic red, with electric sunroof and sidesteps.

The strewn bodies of a man, a woman and an infant led to a road closure lasting several hours.

Tow-truck drivers had earlier arrived at the scene to deal with the situation, but, after examining the vehicles and finding no worthwhile signs of recoverability, towed the cars to the local caryard.

  1. In a word, brilliant. You clever thing you. What challenging writing. Looking forward to your take on the welfare freeloaders.

  2. Regretably, the 'freeloaders' get short shrift in a process which appears beneficent while the rorters remain the pillars of society.
