Loop Road Incident

On 9-7-2016 at about 0950 hrs I was dispatched to the Seasons on Lea Hill for a vandalism report. Enroute dispatch advised that the victim, Shawntea Mason, had contacted 911 to report that she had discovered damaged to her vehicle.

At approximately 1:28 a.m., I arrived at the scene and met with Trooper Otten, who advised what had transpired prior to my arrival. Trooper Otten stated a blue 2014 Ford F-150, driven by Eric A. Wenzel, was traveling northbound on Illinois Route 4 south of Norton Lane. While traveling northbound, the blue Ford veered to the left and entered the southbound lane of the roadway. Once in the southbound lane, the front passenger’s side of the blue Ford struck the front passenger’s side of a southbound silver 2003 Ford F-150, driven by Alan L. Schilling. Trooper Otten stated both Mr. Wenzel and Mr. Schilling sustained incapacitating injuries in the collision Trooper Otten advised the silver Ford’s front seat passenger, Sarah L. Wagner-Schilling, sustained life-threatening injuries in the collision and was not expected to survive. Trooper Otten said Mr. Wenzel admitted to having been drinking prior to the collision and was suspected of driving under the influence. All three occupants had been transported from the scene

During the collision, a gold 2000 Saturn LS1, driven by Cheri E. Post, was reportedly being pursued by a black 2014 Ford Mustang GT, driven by Jordan M. Kinne, after a drug deal gone bad. The Saturn and Ford entered the ramp from Interstate 55 southbound to Tudor Avenue traveling the wrong way. While traveling from Tudor Avenue to Interstate 55, the Saturn and Ford entered the path of a silver 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, driven by Pierre D. Manley. Once in the path of the Chevrolet, the front passenger side of the Saturn struck the front passenger side of the Chevrolet.

We finally made it to the car accident. The roads were blocked off with wooden caution signs and bright red flares that lit up the darkness around the scene. I saw Mike’s car, a 2016 Ford Focus. The car was cut into two pieces by a massive tree. By the looks of it, he lost control and spun out.

All five of them were wearing their seatbelts according to state police, and alcohol was a factor in the crash.

The straightforward case, State of Montana vs. Michael Curtis Soule, appeared to be Vehicular Homicide While Under the Influence. But costly mistakes that happened on the law enforcement end, ultimately altered the case into a complex situation of who done it. Such small errors like missing evidence and being caught up in the moment can change the outcome of any case to guilty or not guilty. In this particular case, investigators doubted their skills or second guessed evidence that could have been the game changer.

Mr. Adamson’s statements and admissions demonstrate that driver error or mechanical failure of the vehicle was a plausible cause of the accident and not the tire failure. Driver error or mechanical failure is at least an equally plausible explanation for the actions of Mr. Quinones in driving his vehicle at the time of the accident.

Officers Drozdz and Guzman were dispatched to the aforementioned location for a man down. Upon their arrival, Officers located C-1 lying on the street at the northwest corner of Bladensburg Rd NE and Neal St NE. C1 sustained a contusion to his head, a minor laceration to his left index finger and minor abrasion to both knees. C1 appeared to be under influence of alcohol/drug. C1 reported that he was jumped by a male. C1 was transported to a hospital.

One can say that the modern movement for holding drivers who take to the road under the under influence of alcohol was created by the death of fourteen year old Cari Lightner on the third of May 1980 in Fair Oaks California. She and her friend were on their way to a local carnival walking in the bike lane where she was hit by a driver who had swerved into the lane the impact threw her 125 feet. It was later revealed that the driver had only minutes before had been drinking in a local bar. Disturbingly he already had three convictions for what was then called drunk driving and did not stop after hitter her. Even with rapid medical intervention Cari was unable to survive due to multiple traumatic injuries.

On July 23, 2017 at approximately 0645 hours, Ofc. Furr (#9345), and myself Ofc. Kelly (#9340) were on the scene of a fatal car accident located at Martin Luther King Jr Hwy and Glenarden Pkwy, in Glenarden Maryland 20706. While blocking the road and conducting traffic control, and while the accident reconstruction investigation was underway, an unidentified suspect arrived on scene in a vehicle after driving down the wrong side of the road. Suspect jumped out of the vehicle and began charging towards the car accident screaming “that’s my sister!.” The suspect was first confronted by Lt. Jackson (#9330), who blocked his way and advised him to stop and halt and that he could not go to the car crash. Suspect pushed Lt. Jackson arm down and ran

On September 22, Anaelle Surprise was driving home with two other passengers on Sunrise Highway in the middle of a rainstorm at 2 A.M. Around that time she veered off the road and crashed into a nearby tree. Thankfully she was driving in the outermost lane and did not implicate any other cars in the crash. She was intoxicated at the time of the crash with her blood alcohol content at 0.092, which is .00736 over 0.08 when you are legally unable to drive a vehicle. Paramedics arrived quickly to the scene and brought her and her passengers to Southside hospital. Luckily, the driver and her passengers did not sustain any injuries more serious than a mild concussion, scratches, and bruises. It is reported that the three were

The Lexington Herald Leader reported on a two-car accident on KY 55 that resulted in the death of a 57-year-old Louisville woman. David E. Moore, Jr. was traveling north on Taylorsville Road when his car crossed the center line and collided with Julie H. Mundt’s vehicle head-on according to law enforcement officials. Mundt died at the accident scene from her injuries. Moore was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Law enforcement officers are still investigating the traffic accident.

driver one stated she slowed down because the vehicle in the front of her was turning into a private driveway. She advised that is when the red pick up truck struck her in the rear.

In conclusion, many people do not realize that being intoxicated while driving, using cellular phones and teenage drivers may bring serious injuries to everybody. Some people may enjoy drinking without care until they get into car accident, which can even result in

Have you ever lost someone close to you because of a bad decision, or a bad decision someone else made? Drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs is the leading cause of death in the United States. Everyday 28 people die in the U.S. because of a drunk or drug impaired driver. Everybody makes bad choices, even you and me, but there is a difference between a bad choice and a bad choice that can put others at risk of injury and death.
