its hard to say who is at fault on that one just for the sole fact the cop did have his sirens and lights on. if they werent on it would be clear whos fault it was

Fixed

Yeah, and it's at night time. I can always see those red & blues from very far away. Although every time I get passed up by an HPD with his lights and sirens on, they usually slow down a bit when they're near traffic/other vehicles. Once they're in the clear in front of everyone they continue to floor it. Watched it with volume off at work so I don't know if that's what he did...

wow! Thats a major law suit. I am sure the officer will be found at fault for that. He should of paid attention to the turn signals. Hopefully noone was injured. Any more info on the story?

Damn he was moving!

At the moment he hit that car he should have been a good 30* into that turn already. He prolly would have never made that turn anyways!

he wasnt turning he was going around the car in front of him

Here is some info i googled.

More info i dug up..

The officer had the "right of way" and blame was pushed on the other car. I highly believe this should be the officers fault! On a single lane road you only pass a car if you can pass them going the speed limit. EIther way the cop should have slowed down to pass.

Tigard Police Officer-involved Crash Findings
The Washington County Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team (CART) recently released their findings from an investigation surrounding a crash involving a Tigard Police patrol vehicle. The incident occurred on September 3, 2011 at approximately 8:20 p.m. at the intersections of SW Walnut Street and Watkins Avenue in Tigard. The Tigard Police officer operating the vehicle was en route to an emergency call at the time of the crash.

The outcome of the investigation identified the crash as preventable. Investigators' remarks indicated that the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash had enough time to yield and move out of the way from the approaching patrol vehicle from behind. Video from inside the patrol vehicle shows the motorist turning left and directly in front of the officer who is attempting to go around. The motorist, 65-year-old Clyde Rizzutto of Tigard was cited for "Failure to Yield to an Emergency Vehicle." (ORS 811.145)

CART is a multi-agency team of specially trained law enforcement officers from the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, King City, Tigard and Tualatin Police Departments. The Washington County District Attorney's Office has also assigned deputy district attorneys to the team.

After watching more closely the sirens were off until he was just about to pass that car!
It also sounds like he was at the top of 3rd gear.

That dude was hauling @$$!!!!!! And of course it is the civilians fault! With those Bright @ss LED lights they have now its hard to tell which lane they are in when they are behind you. But I like how he is haulin balls in the opposite lane, when he just went over a double yellow line, but its old man rivers fault. Sometimes are law system boggles my mind. Now that old man is liable for all that property damage to those peoples yard and house.

I wonder who paid for the house damaged!

I'm sure they pinned it on the drivers insurance.

The officer never had any sobriety or drug test after the accident either.
