Police Mourning Loss
Police Mourning Loss after Krispy Kreme Truck Crashes Tragedy struck Brookhaven, Ga. late last month when a Krispy Kreme truck crashed and spilled its load of tasty donuts. Local police are still mourning the tragic loss after dozens of doughnuts fell from the Krispy Kreme delivery truck along Peachtree Road in downtown Brookhaven. Brookhaven police officers immediately rushed to the “scene” and were devastated to find doughnuts scattered along the curb. Some of the sweet treats had even fallen into a gutter. “The response time was stellar, but we couldn’t beat the 5 second rule,” Brookhaven police joked on Facebook, sharing several photos of the scene. Brookhaven police said the doughnuts were a “total loss.” “As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time, and the senseless loss of these delicious pastries has deeply affected all of our officers,” Brookhaven police said. “We ask that you keep our department in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn this tragedy, and with the holidays just around the corner, pray that another senseless accident doesn’t occur.” The BLUES Staff has started a GoFundMe account to send emergency aide to the Brookhaven Police Department to assist the officers in replacing the fallen confectionary products. Our prayers are with the families and officers in these trying times.
