Driver from Long Island gets prison time for crash that hurt highway patrol officer.
A driver from Long Island has been sentenced to a decade in prison for severely injuring a highway patrol officer in a crash incident. This 29-year-old individual, Cody Fisher, who was found to be under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, received the sentence after pleading guilty to charges including assault on a police officer. The collision occurred when Officer Brendon Gallagher tried to pull over Fisher, who was speeding at 100 mph on the Long Island Expressway, resulting in a catastrophic accident that left Gallagher critically injured and Fisher apprehended. Gallagher, referring to the incident as life-altering, expressed his grievance toward Fisher, while Fisher, in a courtroom address, extended an apology to Gallagher for his actions.

Gallagher, despite previous near-death experiences while on duty, aims to return to his job following ongoing rehabilitation.
