Cop’s daring leap

A New York police officer who made a daring leap to stop a crane truck that smashed into four vehicles on the Long Island Expressway says the giant machine was “like a tank going down the road.” Police say 47-year-old Brian Sinclair went about 14km after barreling through traffic in Ronkonkoma. They say the allegedly intoxicated driver only surrendered once Officer Joseph Goss, 35, jumped into the cab. Goss and three drivers were treated for minor injuries. Sinclair was charged with driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident.
