A preliminary investigation by the Cranston Police Department’s accident reconstruction team found that an officer was traveling east on Sockanosset Cross Road around 12:50 p.m., responding to a breaking and entering call on Mapleton Street, when a two-door Ford exited the Chapel View development and collided with the officer's cruiser. The Ford then collided with a third vehicle, a Jeep Cherokee, which was stopped in the left turn lane on Sockanosset, on the road's westbound side. Paramedics took all three drivers to Rhode Island Hospital. The police department was withholding their names late this afternoon, as they attempted to notify family members. The police say the officer involved was operating his emergency lights and sirens at the time of the accident. -- Journal staff writer David Scharfenberg Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsR.R.H | April 14, 2008 8:13 PM link As a resident of Cranston, I can honestly say that everytime I see a police car speeding down the road....there is never a siren on!!!!! They will wait until they are right on top of you and then blare the siren, which can cause an accident itself!!! cathy | April 15, 2008 2:02 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Wow, speeding through that kind of congestion is asking for an accident, even if your siren and lights are flashing. Police should not speed through a intersection, they should be aware that other drivers may not hear or see there emergency lights. I hope that this is a lesson to drivers, that if you hear a police siren you pull over to the side and stop, if you are not sure were the police car is approaching from. R.R.H
