Rage Crash Caught on Police Tape


Wednesday, October 1, 2008

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. -- Police in Buffalo Grove have released the squad car video that caught the view an officer had May 23 as a Toyota Camry sped backward into his car, then up onto the hood and into the windshield just above his head.

Henry Raskin, 70, of Arlington Heights, was found guilty Aug. 29 of reckless driving, fined $220, ordered to attend an eight-hour traffic-safety course and given a year's court supervision.

Police said Raskin, apparently angry at being pulled over on Dundee Road and ticketed for speeding, threw his car into reverse and accelerated into and onto the police car. One of Raskin's tires smashed through the windshield near the officer's head.
