A report released on April 26 said the two cars were traveling south side by side at a “high rate of speed” in a 25 mph zone. The outside driver tried to make a left turn in front of the other car, onto Polk Street NE, and the two collided.
The officers faces are censored and there is no audio included from before the crash.
Audio is included after the crash, and the officer wearing the body camera can be heard cursing as he gets out of the vehicle and later says he’s “good.”
“Obviously those types of things are unacceptable, they’re embarrassing. It’s not something that we tolerate,” Chief Robert Contee said. “It’s certainly something that I will not tolerate as the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.”
