Mark Nigon Police Report #2

ON 070206 AT APPROXIMATELY 0023 HOURS, I WAS MONITORING NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC IN THE MEDIAN OF S KIPLING PKWY. AGT ***** AND I WERE PARKED IN THE MEDIAN JUST SOUTH OF W FLORIDA AVE. WHILE WE WERE MONITORING TRAFFIC, I NOTICED A DODGE PICK UP SOUTHBOUND IN LANE #1 IN THE NORTHBOUND LANES. I ALONG WITH AGT *****, IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATED OUR EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (LIGHTS AND SIRENS) AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE TRUCK.

BEFORE WE COULD CATCH UP TO THE TRUCK, I NOTICED A RED JEEP WRANGLER NORTHBOUND ON S KIPLING PKWY ALSO IN LANE #1. THE JEEP MADE A SLIGHT MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE GRASSY MEDIAN TO AVOID THE TRUCK. BEFORE THE JEEP COULD GET TO THE MEDIAN, THE TWO VEHICLES COLLIDED IN LANE #1. THE COLLISION WAS ON THE JEEP'S FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK.

THE JEEP CAME TO REST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEDIAN FACING EASTBOUND. I PUT MY PATROL CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO THE JEEP TO CHECK FOR INJURIES. AGT ***** CALLED OUT THE ACCIDENT AND WENT TO THE TRUCK. WHEN I GOT TO THE JEEP, I NOTICED THAT THE FEMALE DRIVER AND MALE PASSENGER WERE BOTH SEAT BELTED. THE FEMALE TOLD ME SHE WAS FINE AND THE MALE WAS SCREAMING IN PAIN. HE HAD BLOOD COVERING HIS FACE AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE JEEP AS HIS LEG WAS PINNED DOWN BY THE DAMAGE DONE. I TRIED TO HAVE THE MALE CALM DOWN AND ASSURED HIM THAT THE PARAMEDICS WOULD SOON ARRIVE. I STAYED WITH THE MALE UNTIL PARAMEDICS ARRIVED ON SCENE. IBRIEFLEY SPOKE TO THE FEMALE DRIVER OF THE JEEP, AND ASKED HER WHAT SHE SAW.

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE SAW OUR LIGHTS AND HEARD OUR SIRENS. AT THE SAME TIME, SHE ALSO SAW A TRUCK COMING STRAIGHT FOR HER IN THE LANE THAT SHE WAS IN. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME AND HIT THE TRUCK.

I VISUALLY ESTIMATED THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK PRIOR TO IMPACT WAS APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH. THE JEEP APPEARED TO BE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH PRIOR TO IMPACT.

WHILE ON SCENE, I ALSO PHOTOGRAPHED THE DAMAGE TO EACH VEHICLE AND ITS POINT OF REST. I ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF THE ROADWAY EVIDENCE AS REQUESTED BY AGTS **** AND **********

ONE MEMORY CARD WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CRIME LAB FOR PROCESSING. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
