A woman has died after being hit by a Horry County Police Department truck on the beach Thursday afternoon, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol and witnesses.
Yeah and it seems obvious that they shouldn’t be driving vehicles where people are laying. This is the third person I’ve heard of being run over by police on a beach this summer.
At most, something like a golf cart or ATV. Not a full size pickup with the windows up and AC blasting, both of which disconnect you from the environment.
I guarantee you every single person on that beach had a computer on them without this sort of protection. What equipment do police really need while driving around on a beach? A laptop at most?
You don’t need a computer in the vehicle. Equipment can be locked to the vehicle or carried on their person. On a beach, if you need to arrest someone, you can walk them in handcuffs the couple dozen feet back to the road.
One of those big fucking trucks with poor visibility. Driven with over confidence.

They need something like this.
Nah, take the doors off. In this environment, you need to be acutely aware of your surroundings.

Another article said it was actually the (marginally) smaller Ford ranger.
New Ford Ranger is about the same size as 1990s F-150s.
