135 Crash Description
(Refer to vehicle by numbershoes:-- as.

 

 

Writer also responded to Chief King's residence in Somerset at approximately 0225 hours to speak with him and inspect his
vehicle. Chief king had been parked in the Borough lot around the time of this incident. Chief King has a blue emc Siaria
pick up truck which is similar to the description given by the witness. When i responded to Chief Klng's residence to speak
with him. I observed his truck hacked into his driveway. i walked up the driveway and observed damage to the passenger
side of his truck. it begin at the trout passenger quarter panel and went the entire length oi the vehicle to the rear passenger
quarter panel I took pictures (see attached). I called cniei king via his cell phone and asked if he could come milslde to
speak with me. When he came out I advised him why i stopped by and asked him about the damage to his vehicle. He stated
that the damage I observed was already there but did not eiahorate how it was damaged. Note". I do recall his vehicle being
parked in the Borough lot earlier when he stopped by headquarters around 2130 hours. but I do not recall the damage to the
truck being there at that time. in my training and experience. as he spoke to me. his breath smelled oi alcoholic bevrages and
he appeared to have been drinking. He stated to me without my asking that he had a few drinks while at home. I advised him i
was just asking about the vehicle because I was conducting an investigation into a hit and run accident. I advised him that a
witness gave a description of a vehicle slrnilar to his leave the Borough lot and strike vehicle in. I advised him that I did recall
seeing his vehicle parked in the Borough lot iust prior to this incident and i was lust asking if he could have possibly struck
the vehicle and just not realize it. He stated he didn't strike any vehicle and that if he did ire would have recalled doing so.
Chief King appeared to be too intoxicated as to attempt to get any further in.depih statement from him.

it was my determination. through my experience handling motor vehicle crash reports. that vehicle :11 was struck by vohicle
#2 due to the following: the height and location of the dent in vehicle riz's front passenger side quarter panel and the height
and tocatlon of vehicle M's driver side rear humper being the same, as well as the rest oi the damage to the length oi the
passenger side orvehicle #2 being connected to the main dent in vehicle #25 front passenger side quarter panel. the
eyewitness who gave a description or a pickup truck matching the description oi vehicle pulling out of the Borough
Municipal lot. where vehicle had just been parked moments prior to this incident. but was now gone.

in addition to 072003 tor Leaving the Scene or Accident. are as follows:
012004 for 39:44:50 Failure to Report an Accident. 072005 for 390137 Careless Driving and 072000 39:4-127 Improper Tumlng

issued on 0510111015.

An attempt was made by oic. Romano to contact the owner or vehicle to advise him of the damage to his vehicle. There
was no answor at his residence Ilsted on the vehicle registration.
