I think overtaking 3 vehicles like this is very risky, and at some point the parked cop car would have been visible to the overtaking car. But the cop car should have waited until both side of the road were clear before pulling out, so ultimately the fault lies there.
Was it parked or was it a u-turn? If it was parked, 100% the coppers fault. If it was a uturn, the officer did wait for the left lane to clear to make the uturn which is also why the guy in the back decided to overtake, the left lane was clear.


I wouldn't really say what the cop did was reckless because that is fairly common for cops to do. Just pull a uturn. Very reckless though to over pass 2 semis and a car all at once, especially when they are already slowing down for some reason.



As far as the siren, could go either way.
Was the copper in the process of turning it on? Does the siren automatically go off when the vehicle is in a accident? Maybe dopplar shift?

I wouldn't be surprised if the copper was going after that vehicle that passed in the left lane. Most of the uturns I see pulled are when the cops pass someone breaking the law.
