POLICY K-21 STATEMENT
DATE: AUGUST 10, 1992
TO: CAPT. J. M. MILLER
VIA: LT. D. A. EVERETT AND SGT. B. R. JONES
RE: POLICE ON-DUTY ACCIDENT, CR92-06459
On 07-31-92/Friday, at about 1802 hours, I responded to an
OFFICER-INVOLVED MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT at James and Washington Street.
Upon arrival, I observed damage to two (2) vehicles.
Vehicle #2 , a 1986 HONDA, was registered to Joju MICHEL. The damage
appeared extensive and Kent Fire Department Personnel were evaluating
at least two people at the scene. I requested Officer P. J. LOWERY,
the Patrol Supervisor, and an additional Patrol Unit to respond to
assist with the investigation.
. Officer LOWERY photographed vehicle damages, evidence located
on the roadway, vehicle positions, and marked roadway evidence for
scene measurements. I identified and interviewed six (6) witnesses,
both drivers, and one (1) passenger from vehicle #2 . I also assisted
Officer Lowery with the measurements.
Per witness statements and statements from both drivers,
vehicle #1, (KPD Unit #352 , operated by Officer S. C. McVICAR) , was in
the southbound outside lane, at N. Washington/W. James, and stopped for
a red light. Vehicle #2, (1986 Honda) , was eastbound, in the outside
lane, on W. James/N. Washington. Per Officer McVicar, he observed a
traffic infractions committed by a vehicle executing a left turn from
James onto Washington. Officer McVicar states he checked traffic
coming eastbound on W. James Street and thought there were no vehicles
whose right-a-way he would violate although he entered on a red light
for southbound traffic. Officer McVicar also noted the sun was at an
angle which somewhat inhibited his view of oncoming traffic.
As Officer McVicar entered the intersection, he became aware of
Vehicle. #2 , but was unable to avoid a collision.

POLICY K-21 STATEMENT
August 10, 1992
Mr. Michel stated the light for eastbound traffic was green as
he entered the intersection. He said he was unaware of the Police
vehicle until the time of impact.
Statements from witnesses confirm the basic positions and
movements of Vehicle #1 and Vehicle #2 . There were inconsistencies
regarding whether the Police vehicle's emergency lights were activated
before, upon, or after impact.
Witness Joseph O'DELL, states he spoke with a blind pedestrian
who said he heard a siren, then a collision. I was unable to identify
or locate this person for statement verification. All other witnesses
stated they heard no siren prior to the collision taking place.
Refer to Case Report 92-06459 for further details of the
investigation. Scene photographs have been submitted into evidence
under this case report number.
