Dawes Sheriff rolls department's new pickup
Published Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 08:26 AM

Dailey says his attention was momentarily diverted as he was "tweeking" the radio and the cruiser drifted into the wrong lane. The sheriff over-corrected and the pickup went into the ditch, struck a berm, and rolled.
Dailey was wearing his seat belt and was uninjured. He says the accident offered two lessons: always wear your seat belt, and accidents can happen to any driver...no matter how experienced or well-trained.
The damage to the new cruiser is covered by insurance, but Sheriff Dailey says the repair process means his office will be short one vehicle for at least a week.
