CAMERON COUNTY'S ACCIDENT-PRONE SPEED DEMON SAFETY OFFICER CRASHES... AGAIN
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <b>Juan Montoya</b><br />By now, workers with Cameron County Public Works have grown used to seeing safety officer (in name only) Gilbert Galvan cruising through the area's rural roads at break-neck speed, emergency lights flashing from under his SUV grill.<br />"People think that it's a policeman when he flashes those red and blue lights," said one recently. "You don't know if you're supposed to stop or get out of his way. It's confusing."<br />Not long ago, Galvan failed to negotiate the curve at the intersection of FM 803 and Henderson Road and caused substantial damage to the county vehicle. A tow truck also had to be called at county expense to take the truck back to the county barn in San Benito.<br />Galvan, a favorite of Luis Ara, the Public Works supervisor, then had to use the county commissioner's old pickup truck until his was repaired.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil5FPp9zEkLecRdv-ebvOPnvhGtk9j1PvO7FGAIOcdL9xNbnRSt9PlciAXJhiHeJ_8LQQ97GbwWsphkS9HGRo276N9ftplBHAn_7FpV4KxbPdo4iRW7dPg8tPqtFaJMPX3VnjbCAHsdxQ/s1600/crashed+suv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil5FPp9zEkLecRdv-ebvOPnvhGtk9j1PvO7FGAIOcdL9xNbnRSt9PlciAXJhiHeJ_8LQQ97GbwWsphkS9HGRo276N9ftplBHAn_7FpV4KxbPdo4iRW7dPg8tPqtFaJMPX3VnjbCAHsdxQ/s1600/crashed+suv.jpg" /></a></div>Then, after the costly repairs were made on the county vehicle, it was hit by another car as Galvan pulled out of a parking lot and the vehicle sustained some damage. <br />Back to the repair garage!<br />Well, guess what happened just today? Speed Demon came to the traffic light at the intersection of Sam Houston (FM 345) and FM 510 and was involved in a collision with a car driven by an elderly man. We are still trying to get more details on the mishap, but apparently Galvan said he was struck by the other car when he was turning on a green arrow and had the right-of-way.<br />There's only one problem with that story, witnesses say: the traffic light in question does not have green arrows.<br />We don't know if someone took photos of the cursed county vehicle, but we do have one of the first accident that Galvan caused when he failed to negotiate the turn. Now, with a collision, the county's insurance policy will again have to dole out the money (minus deductible) to fix the vehicle again.The way that favoritism works at the county, it will probably be just a matter of time before Galvan is back behind the wheel racing through the county's roads hell bent for mayhem again.<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-6318068690471601094?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
