I posted this on CP a few years ago, but I once saw a police officer make a sudden and dramatic u turn on glenmore, after throwing on sirens, which resulted in about a 4 car pile up with the cars behind. The first police officer on the scene was the one that made the u turn and she had no idea she had inadvertently caused the accident.
edit- not saying the police officer was at fault as it certainly could be argued that the first vehicle behind the cruiser should have been paying close enough attention, and following at the appropriate distance given the conditions, to make the stop. The reason why everyone at the scene was a little ticked with the officer was because she was the one first at the scene, despite making the u turn with sirens on.... which, for what it is worth, was right in front of a no u turn sign.
