Today in the bays pete suratos is live in martinez with what happened. Pete, this happened while that officer was writing a ticket. Reporter yeah, good morning. Yes, that chp officer was simply doing his job last night when it took place and the last time we checked in with chp we know that he was in recovery at a local hospital and when you hear the details of this incident, you realize hes lucky to be alive. Lets show you the scene from highway 4 overnight after this all took place. According to chp theyre saying the officer was parked on the side of the highway writing up an accident report involving an suv which was parked on the side of that highway. While this is taking place chp says another driver hits that parked suv, that suv flips over and eventually rolls on to the officer. Now, this collision pushed the officers parked motorcycle into traffic lanes causing a Chain Reaction involving eight cars, shutting down the highway. Our crews did speak with a driver in one of those eight cars who helped get the suv off of that officer. And then the motorcycle with the officer was spinning right in front of me, i swerved to get out of his way to the far right lane and thats where i got hit by this white truck thats up there and they went to the hospital. When i pulled over here i heard him screaming. Now, that officer may have suffered a broken leg, but he is expected to survive. Three more people were taken to a local hospital for injuries as well.

Now, the San Jose Police department is already subject to the review of an independent Police Auditor, this is an office that was created way back in 1993, but its long been the complaint that the auditor has no teeth and can only make suggestions about change, but not demand them. The former independent Police Auditor, former judge cordell once told me that her power really rested in her relationship with the chief at the time, which was a good relationship, however, she recognized that, you know, there was no formal power there. So here is how that could change now. Today the council is going to consider expanding the independent Police Auditors oversight giving the auditor power to hold the department accountable rather than just make suggestions. Also open up for review complaints filed by officer and staff, these are Department Initiated Investigations which had been off unavailable to the Police Auditor. Right now they only conduct jefr sight over civilian filed complaints. Also granting the independent Police Auditor access to Body Worn Camera video.
