Of course, it must be the police's fault, how about the dumg citizen that called the police.but didn't stay until they arrived. Duh to her also.

The driver was assured that the people who went off road were playing a prank. The misinformation removed any hope that the driver would have turned back.

YOUR A MORON!!!!!!!!!!

Great with tickets (hmmm?) but don't so hot with emergency response/investigation?

Toatally agree. This is the second time, and third death in two diferent twons for the same reason. But when i got pulled over for doing 58 in 55, the cops, though they had nor reason to i gave theem permission, sure did a thourough search of my car. The police should search at least as hard for missing people at the scene of a wreck as they do for contraband in a middle aged lab tech's car.

Can you spell law suit??????????

Since when do you call off a search?
Must have been snack time or something.
How the hell do you miss a whole car?

excuses, excuses, excuses, just lazy cops.
This is no joke!!!!!
People's life were at state, can't you get it, all someone had to do was check it out, you could not stop eating your donuts long enough to check.
excuses, excuses, excuses, just lazy cops.

It's not our job to stop. Our tax dollars pay these cops and dispatchers to do their jobs. Oh and the word is Samaritans. Get a high school education before you reply.

It may not be our job to stop but it is our "job" to report. Sometimes it is hard to describe where an accident happened, especially along a stretch of highway. I guess, if I am ever in this situation, I'll come back and wait for the police to arrive.

This is similiar to a story that happened last year near Gary, IN. A teen died in a car accident and the POLICE was directed to the scene and discovered the wrecked vehicle but no victim.

The very next day, the father of teen discoved the body a few feet away from the wreckage!!!!

Sometimes, I believe our police officers have other things on their minds, like coffee and donuts and where can I hide to collect my pension in s few years!!!!

So sad for the family!!!!

This is so sad.. You know, even if people had permission to collect firewood, they should of went down to that car and the area just to see. So sad.

God Bless the family

Remind me never to have an accident in Garrett Indiana.

The two deputies who abandoned the search were "devastated by it." Wonder if they get to keep their job.

If passers-by were so concerned why did they not stop?? What ever happened to good samaitans? I guess they were only concerned enough to pick up the phone.

Yes, Mitch even had a speech/commercial that said as much

that's reeeeetarrrrd.

Hold that Department Liable and make corrections immediately. What a shame. May God bless your families.

How is it that somebody isn't getting fired over this?

They're "devestated". wow. They should be since they are responsible
