Boston Mayor in Mach E Crash

[HuntingPudel]

Curious, is that a GT?

Based on the front bumper, no. It is probably a Select.

Looks like the Mach-E had its lights on and was trying to clear the intersection and get through it. Even with the lights and sirens on you should always clear an intersection, even stop if you have to and not assume that other motorists see or hear you.

An unmarked Boston police Mach E that was driving the mayor appears to have run a red light and caused a crash.

That video makes this look like what we like to call an "accident."

The officer should have slowed more and checked more carefully, the driver of the white car could have slowed down sooner so it didn't have to lock up and the car behind didn't have to swerve, and the driver in the left lane should have responded to the siren and the stopping traffic and slowed down or stopped itself.

However, based on no fewer than 4 viewings of crappy embedded twitter video, it appears that the car didn't slow down until a last minute swerve, looking at the car behind dropping rapidly back. It does look like the car hit its brakes just as it pulled even with the white car in the right lane - maybe the first time the driver saw the Mach e. Also seems like the officer had just started the left turn and tried to go back right. Of course, seems unlikely he had a legit reason to be running lights and sirens and blowing red lights.

/Boston Mayor unhurt in pileup while being transported by police to an undisclosed location! Film at 11!

I thought the CR-1's were the only come with that trim piece. I want it, if I can get it from a select I'm game. Ford parts has terrible descriptions.

Yes, I’ve owned a Select and CR-1 and they both have the notched matte trim. Are you going to swap out your glossy mustache trim for the notched one?

Yep, want the full Ted Lasso / Snoopy look

Not sure what ADAS, other than traffic light detection would have helped? The car was t-boned!

The EV bashers will blame it in the battery anyhow, they blame everything on the battery

Meanwhile, an ID4 wanted some attention and got in the picture

Or it was stuck waiting for an OTA update.

umm…just thought it was interesting that they are using unmarked Mach E to shuttle around the mayor. Not sure why you have a tendency to be rude on here. Life is too short man.
