The owner of the 2019 Mercedes says she's stuck with rental and repair costs and hopes the department helps to fix the situation.
Kimberly Davis was finishing up a day at work at her office on Emancipation Avenue on Feb. 20 when her car was involved in an accident - and she wasn't driving.
"The security came into our office and stated that they needed to see me in the garage," says Davis. "I came outside, and I found the police officer's car straight in the back of mine." "The officers that caused the incident or the accident rather, they got out of the vehicle laughing," says Davis. "When their supervisor got here, they were still laughing. He told me to cut her some slack, that this was her first accident, and that her laugh was a nervous laugh. I was annoyed."
Kimberly's been to three Mercedes dealerships to receive quotes on the extensive damage to the rear doors, panel, glass, and bumper, one estimate is as high as $13,000 - suggesting the car be totaled. HPD told Davis it may take up to three months to see any repairs done. She was given a claim ID document in case she was stopped by police for the busted light and trunk. She's tells FOX 26 she's already been stopped four times since Feb.
