No Charges in Fire Truck Accident

From the Platte County Prosecutor:

On May 9, 2011, two fire trucks operated by members of the Central Platte Fire Protection District collided while responding to a fire on Highway HH east of Platte City.  Investigators with the Platte County Sheriff’s Department investigated the crash and forwarded reports regarding the incident to the Platte County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd said, “I have carefully reviewed reports of the Platte County Sheriff’s Department regarding this crash.  I  discussed the results of the investigation with my assistant prosecutors, including Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Humiston, who went to the scene shortly after the incident.  We have concluded that this unfortunate accident was just that—an accident—and no criminal charges will be brought as a result.”
