WICHITA, Kan. (UPI) -- A driver in Kansas was so upset by getting a traffic ticket for speeding that she backed into the officer's squad car when he told her she was free to leave.
The moment of confusion cost the woman another 40 minutes with police, The Wichita Eagle reported. But she did not get another ticket.
"The officer had a heart," Police Capt. Joe Dessenberger said.
The woman, from Derby outside Wichita, was pulled over while she was in the city. Dessenberger described her as "flustered" by the incident.
He said the officer had his red warning lights on when he was hit. The squad car was only a few months old.
"Naturally, it was one of our new cars," Dessenberger said. "We never damage the old ones."
