(December 15, 2008)—San Antonio investigators are recommending that a police officer who ran over a colleague on his way to a shoplifting call be charged with manslaughter.
Officer Robert Davis died two weeks ago after he was struck by a patrol car driven by Officer David Seaton as he cleared road flares.
Seaton was on his way to a shoplifting call in his cruiser when he hit another car.
The collision caused spun Seaton’s cruiser out of control.
Davis was pinned underneath the patrol car.
San Antonio police spokesman Joe Rios said investigators now believe Seaton ran a red light and did not have his flashing lights on at the time of the collision.
Traffic investigators forwarded the case to the district attorney's office and have recommended a manslaughter charge against Seaton.
The 46-year-old officer was critically injured in the accident and remains at a rehab facility.
