Cop Flips Crippled Woman's Car For driving Two MPH Over the Limit
She might have beat the officer senseless with her cane
Sandra Silasavage hardly looks like a flight risk. Yet that's what a St. Lucie County sheriff's deputy claimed after he used an aggressive driving technique to force her off the road, flipping her SUV on its side in the process.
Silasavage, 62, is handicapped with a chronic spinal condition that barely allows her to walk. She was charged with fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer because she did not pull over when instructed to do so.
Her 2008 Ford Expedition was totaled in the wreck, she's out thousands of dollars and her life has been turned upside down.
