The crash occurred at roughly 9:45 a.m. CT on Aug. 1.

The SPS member was sent to a “priority call,” heading westbound on 22nd Street West in a marked police car with emergency lights activated.

Police said the car came to a stop at Idylwyld Drive North before it was in a collision with an SUV in the intersection.

Following the review of dash cam video from the patrol car, SPS officials clarified on Aug. 2 that while the civilian driver did not yield to the emergency vehicle, it was the officer who struck the SUV.

A decision on whether a ticket will be issued has not been made at this time.
