From today's Express-News:
Police Officer Andrew Montemayor was kicking flares to the side of Potranco Road, joking with fellow rookie Robert Davis about how crazy their day had been, when he heard the revving of an engine outside his line of vision.I think the reporter meant "instinctively." That's pretty funny. I was taught in my journalism classes in college never to use big, flowery words when smaller, more straightforward ones will do.

Instinctually, he knew something was wrong and began to run, Montemayor told jurors as testimony began Tuesday in the manslaughter and aggravated assault trial of former colleague David Seaton.
