COPS TV Show, Officer Joe Morgan Talks About, Stuck on the Tracks, Des Moines Police Department
While on routine patrol, Officer Joe Morgan of the Des Moines (IA) Police Department spots a speeding motorbike and gives chase. The fleeing suspect slips away after Officer Morgan misjudges the height of nearby train tracks - which disable his vehicle. While the officer advises dispatch to halt all impending traffic, he hears the horrifying sound of a fast approaching train. Fortunately, the train is redirected in time and a catastrophe is avoided -- so he thinks. A little while later, a second train approaches from the opposite direction as several of Officer Morgan's fellow officers anxiously try to figure out how to move the disabled vehicle. Eventually , the second train is also redirected and the vehicle is safely removed from its precarious position. The embarrassed officer's amused supervisor wonders if he should change the officer's evaluation.
