"Harris was riding his bike to work and trying to turn left from First Avenue South onto South Bennett Street from the left-hand turn lane when the patrol car struck him from behind, the lawsuit states.
The patrol car then slammed into a sub shop.
Witnesses said the officer was traveling at excessive speed and was not using his emergency lights and siren, the lawsuit says. "
"Seattle police have refused to release the name of the officer, a 23-year veteran, saying he had been injured, did not remember the accident and also was a "victim" of the accident."
Ah, the old amnesia defence! Brilliant!
