The officer was inside of his patrol car on the shoulder of Central when a woman struck the back of his vehicle. Another patrol car was also on the shoulder as the two police officers were helping a stranded motorist. The other officer was outside of his vehicle at the time of the accident and did not suffer injury. The force of the initial collision caused the first patrol car to strike the second police cruiser sending it into the HOV lane. The woman who caused the wreck has since been charged with intoxication assault. It was also reported that she was driving with a suspended license.

Following an injury auto accident reportedly caused by a drunk driver a third party investigation may be conducted that can work to identify all liable parties for such an accident. While an alleged drunk driver can be held both civilly and criminally responsible for their actions a negligent bar or restaurant may also bear partial civil liability for such an accident should the suspected drunk driver have become intoxicated due to being over-served alcohol prior to an accident. Often establishing that such a chain of events occurred requires the work of an independent investigation so that all liable parties can be discovered and brought to justice for their respective roles in this unfortunate accident.
