NYPD cop killed, 8 officers injured as patrol van crashes in Bronx
The van was heading south down Bruckner Blvd. when it struck a center divide in Hunts Point shortly after 5 a.m., police said. The van appeared to have sideswiped the divide for a block starting at Longfellow Ave. until coming to a stop near Bryant Ave. The officers were heading toward the UN for security detail.

Thrown from the back of the van? Please tell me he wasn't squeezed BEHIND the 3rd row seat. Anyone that's been packed into one of those vans can tell you it would seem nearly impossible to bounce out of the seat, over the top and out, especially if it didn't roll over.

The City is so cheap with vehicle allocation, and many commands don't allow you to take a van or RMP to a detail, so when you do get one, everyone tries to pack in. Its not unusual to see 10-11 MOS in one of these shvtwagons, and then nobody can wear a seatbelt.
