EAST PEORIA, Ill. – We’re just now learning about some potentially scary moments for an East Peoria Police officer was helping respond to an accident near the McClugage Bridge a week ago.
East Peoria Police say two officers were on traffic control following authorities responding to a fatal motorcycle crash July 22, when one of the officers tried to alert another about a vehicle coming at the squad car.
The officer was able to escape the squad car just in time, as the collision caused heavy damage to the squad.
25 News reports Brandes Morris, 53, was cited for Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident, Driving Under the Influence, and violating “Scott’s Law,” which requires drivers to slow down and, if possible, move over when emergency lights are flashing.
