Officer Distracted, Car Crashes Into Driver

A woman claims she was struck by a police officer who was distracted by his in-car computer while driving behind her on Highway 24 — she was legally pulling over to let an emergency vehicle pass. The crash left her with multiple injuries and a totaled car worth $5,000. She’s suing both the officer and the City of Independence for over $25,000 in damages, alleging negligence. Body cam footage reportedly shows the officer’s inattention, and a court date is set for April 27. The city hasn’t responded yet.
