It’s time for a NewsCut road trip!

Stop rocking out and move over for the ambulance

Stop rocking out and move over for the ambulance

The Crystal Police Department says on its Facebook page today that it's not out to shame the driver who wouldn't get out of the way of an ambulance. Fortunately, NewsCut is under no such constraints. We've had our fill of knuckleheads on our roadways.
