"She Was 26, Limited Value": What US Cop Said After Indian Died In Accident
NDTV
Jaahnavi Kandula was killed by a speeding police car while crossing a street in Seattle last year.
The US police officer who ran over an Indian student while responding to an overdose call, will not face any criminal charges due to lack of "sufficient" evidence, authorities said.
Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, was killed by a speeding police car while crossing a street in Seattle on January 23 last year. Seattle Police officer Kevin Dave was reportedly driving at a speed of 119 km/h on the way to a report of a drug overdose call. Ms Kandula was thrown 100 feet when she was struck by the police patrol vehicle.
In bodycam footage released by the Seattle Police Department in September last year, Dave's colleague and officer Daniel Auderer, who was dispatched to assist with the fatality collision, was heard laughing about the deadly crash. He was also heard dismissing any implication that Dave might be at fault or that a criminal investigation was necessary.
