Ram Truck Rolls After Getting Hit by Honda That Went Rogue at Stop Sign

SAN ANGELO, TX — A Honda Accord driver ran a stop sign and hit a Ram 1500 pickup, causing it to roll over, according to the Texas DPS. Both vehicles we occupied by only a driver each, both men.

DPS said that one driver for sure was transported to a local hospital with non-critical injuries. We witnessed the Ram driver getting loaded into an ambulance.

According to the initial crash investigation, the 2008 Honda Accord was southbound on Grape Creek Rd. and at the intersection to FM 2105, DPS states, the Accord’s driver did not yield the right-of-way to the eastbound 2008 Ram 1500 on the farm-to-market road.

The Accord struck the Ram, causing the Ram’s driver to react in such a way as his pickup rolled over on its side. The driver of the Ram was trapped inside the cab for a while as fire and EMS crews worked to free him. As the driver was rescued, our reporter at the scene witnessed him moving his arms.

DPS said the driver of the Accord was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign.

To say that someone who ran a stop sign is a ROUGE is plain STUPID. Look up rouge in Websters ya goof.

Rouge is red in French, i.e. Baton Rouge, or Red Stick. Yet that is not at all what Mr. Hyde said. If a Honda disobeyed a traffic sign, it did kinda go rogue.

What is the penalty for failing to yield right of way. a slap on the wrist?

An inferior or defective specimen among many satisfactory ones... Apply that to a driver in his vehicle and it fits.
A person or thing that behaves in an aberrant, faulty, or unpredictable way... This one seems to fit as well.
Seems like "Rogue" was a perfectly acceptable use of vocabulary to me...
Maybe your Webster says something different... That is if "Rogue" is actually the word you're complaining about.
