Description
A Seattle police officer was traveling at 74 miles per hour just before his police cruise struck and killed 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula in an intersection in January, according to a case investigation report.
The officer, who has not been charged with a crime, was responding to an emergency call and was in a 25 mph zone at the time of the collision. Kandula had the right of way and was struck by the cruiser at approximately 63 mph, according to the report.
The report found that speed was the cause of the collision, as the speed at which the officer was traveling did "not allow [Kandula] or him sufficient time to detect, address and avoid a hazard that presented itself," the report states.
