Police Officers outside jurisdiction cause 2 accidents
Two police cars from separate city police departments caused a civilian motor vehicle accident and a pedestrian accident outside of their jurisdiction in the Denver metro area in the span of four days. The first involved an Aurora patrol car who hit a family of four inside Denver City limits and rolled the SUV they were traveling in. The mother driving the SUV said the patrol car did not have its lights on, was traveling 35 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone and blew through a stop sign, colliding with the family’s SUV. The second involved a Denver Police Officer who hit a civilian inside Centennial city limits. A FOX 31 news investigation ran into a wall and did not get answers from the departments as to why each officer was out of their jurisdiction. The woman driving in the accident is considering taking legal action.
