Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Florida police officer Sgt. Adam Rosenthal, who was killed in a car accident near the intersection of Southwest 18th Street and Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton at approximately 6:15 am Thursday morning.
According to Officer Down Memorial Page Inc., he was reporting to the station at the beginning of his shift when his patrol car struck a tree in the median. He was flown to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
On a personal note: This incident struck a nerve when I read about his untimely death because I was involved in an accident last Sunday evening. My kids and I were on our way home from a soccer tournament when a motorist in another vehicle shot out from a side street and failed to yield. He drove right across in front of my car to the opposite side of the street. I came to a complete stop and then all hell broke loose. I was hit from behind by another motorist who was following too closely. As it stands right now, I have terrible back pain and I am feeling some pain on the right side of my chest where the seat belt tightened. I thank God because the outcome could have been quite different for my children and I. Sergeant Rosenthal is survived by four children.
