Why was a Woodlands unit in that pursuit? ORN headed into Conroe, with regular SO. I have a problem with that.
We were almost hit by both the Honda and the OR units coming off of 45 on to Frazier – on OR Unit – went up over the curb and into on coming traffic that was heading east on 336 – had it not been for diligent safe drivers there would’ve been a major accident there – and there almost was an accident twice – then the other 4 units that followed we not safe when they came through traffic and that light there at 336 Loop either
