Probe underway after Tacoma officer's SUV strikes pedestrians while trying to clear scene
An outside investigation is underway after a Tacoma Police Department officer plowed his car through a crowd of pedestrians, hitting at least one person, and possibly others, Saturday evening while he and other officers were trying to clear a scene involving as many as 100 people who were watching a street sideshow, authorities said.
The city's police department turned the probe over to the Pierce County Force Investigation Team, which will now conduct an independent review of the incident, according to a written statement by Tacoma police.
Puyallup Police Capt. Dan Pashon, who is part of the team investigating the incident, told KOMO News that two people were taken to a local hospital for treatment. One was released a short time later while the other victim remained hospitalized Saturday evening with non-life threatening injuries.
Information about the condition of that person who was struck by the officer's cruiser was not immediately released. The identities of both victim was also not immediately publicly disclosed.
