Trooper gets ticket for wrecking patrol car

[Hum]

COWPENS, SC (AP) - A South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper has been cited for driving too fast for conditions after he was involved in a wreck on Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County.

58-year-old John Beheler suffered minor injuries in the wreck late Tuesday morning.

Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies handled the investigation since the wreck involved a Highway Patrol trooper.

Sheriff's Lt. Tony Ivey said deputies determined that Beheler's vehicle hydroplaned on the wet road and flipped over. Beheler was wearing a seatbelt.

No other vehicles were involved.

Beheler was treated and released from Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.

It was in his Patrol car.. and it's standard to have the next local agency handle the crash report instead of the agency involved.

So he should be getting a ticket for this or at least some reprimand I would think.

Good deal. Officers shouldnt be exempt.
