Lexus Rollover in......Parking Lot.....

I'm shopping for groceries with my mother when I walk out of the store and see a large crowd.  Then, as my eyes begin to focus in the blistering heat and blinding sun, I see the whole parking lot is taped off, there are fire trucks, police vehicles, and an ambulance that eventually makes its way to the scene.  I look straight ahead and see a Lexus sitting on its side.  I look around for the other vehicle that hit the Lexus and realize that I am not going to find it because it doesn't exist.

No one I spoke to fully understands how this older gentleman flipped his car on its side into a walkway but it was quite the scene.  I watched them carry the man on a stretcher.  He was quite old and so I was concerned that he might have died but I don't think that's the case given the position he was lying in on the stretcher in the pictures I took (not sharing pics of him out of respect).  I sure hope he's alright and I'm very glad no one was in the walkway when he landed there.

On a separate note, anyone know what lightbar the Tahoe is using?  I really liked it!

P.S. Below are just a few highlights.  I'll provide a link to the full album on Flickr as well.

Lightbar on the Tahoe is a Federal Signal Valor (or an integrity but based on the mounting feet, looks like a Valor.)

I wish!  I have never seen a Valor here.  This was just a straight lightbar.  No shapes or anything.  The police cars here used to use the Tomar 930 bars (Tomar is based out of AZ).  I don't know what they went with when they did the low profile conversion. Maybe a Tomar Scorpion?

The Integrity IS a straight (linear) Valor.

The Scorpion is taller and has round ends, the Blade and Scorpion both have visible upper and lower frames. Not a Tomar for sure.

That's interesting; I didn't know that.  Here's another picture from someone else of the same unit (14273).  The mounting feet definitely look like the ones from the Valor.
