Couple are left fighting for life after being hit by ‘drunk’ off-duty cop who ‘wasn’t breathalyzed or arrested’

Egan - seen here receiving a Letter of Appreciation following a gun bust in 2022 - had a retirement party scheduled the day after the crash, at the same bar he reportedly exited before cutting off the couple

The collision happened around 9:21pm in Illinois Thursday, and left Chelsey Farley and boyfriend Trevor Hopkins severely injured. They were ejected from their vehicle.

The couple were hospitalized, and the driver who hit them was identified as Springfield Police Sgt. Michael Egan. He is seen stumbling and struggling to stand in footage filmed shortly after the crash.

A short but happy journey …

Hi Everyone!

I am off to PQ to attend my niece’s daughter’s wedding. I am looking forward to the scheduled 11 pm Poutine snack at the reception.

I should be back Sunday evening, after a small post wedding family get together. Xavier will be all alone and will probably change the locks.

Please be aware that the Blog may be down for 4 to 6 hours if our host decides to make the move to the new server.

Sarcasticat will be looking after things while I am gone, please thank him for his fine efforts.

Thank you all!

BCF

And we’re back …

Because that’s what they did,” Trump said.
