Harnett County Deputy Daniel C. Jackson

Broadway, N.C. — A Harnett County sheriff's deputy was not speeding when he lost control on wet pavement and struck a tree March 13, the Highway Patrol has found.

The N.C. State Highway Patrol investigated the wreck, which left Deputy Daniel C. Jackson in critical condition. Troopers said they had determined Jackson was traveling at 55 mph, the posted limit on McDougald Road, at the time of the wreck.

"Some of you are really sick individuals."----

Agreed. Not just sick, but ignorant. And while we're at it, a good majority of them lazy as they are probably at work talking on golo instead of doing their job.

Some of you are really sick individuals. My hubby, a LEO, was in an accident with his patrol car...he got a ticket, had to pay it, and yes he was on the way to a call. He was not speeding, but it was raining, he ran off the road, overcorrected and ended up in the ditch, same as TITAN4X4. He knew the Trooper that gave him a ticket. No big deal. So all of you talking trash about the law enforcement family, get over it.

As for the deputy - praying for a speedy recovery. As for the trooper - thanks for doing your job.

It never fails to amaze me how the same people who criticize LEO's are also the 1st ones to dail 911 . People - the man is hurt -yes he knew he could get hurt doing his job - but the fact he does it anyway is what makes him a great person . Just send him and his family your thoughts and prayers . I for one would be glad to help him anyway I could (and I don't live in Harnett county) because even though i don't live there -if I was passing through -he'd be 1st one to help me .

My prayers are that the deputy makes a full recovery. My hopes are that all these folks bad mouthing a man for a job they're not willing or capable of doing would go out and try to drive 55 MPH on McDougald Rd in the rain and see where they end up. It's basically a paved buggy path full of twists and turns that weren't designed by a DOT engineer to be easy to drive. So please quit throwing rocks from your glass houses until you know of what you speak. LEO's, FF's, EMT's put their lives on the line for us every time they work a shift. Try pulling together instead of whining about your own unfortunate incidents that dented your wallet a little. You're not fighting for your life and/or quality of life as you make these hurtful comments.

"cite me for "FAILURE TO MAINTAIN SINGLE LANE OF TRAVEL!" DUH! I was in a ditch not in a lane!!!!!!"

Really Sherlock? If you stayed in your travel lane and not a ditch you wouldn't have been cited. He was responding to a call, get over it.
