Fairborn officer not charged in crash
A Fairborn police officer will face departmental discipline but no criminal charges stemming from a crash early June 13, Fairborn Sgt. Matt Ricketts said.
Officer Shane Hartwell was responding to a call of a man with a gun at 1:28 a.m. when he went through a red light at Central Avenue and Xenia Drive, striking an SUV, Ricketts said.
The SUV rolled over and landed on its top, but neither Hartwell nor any of the four people in the SUV suffered significant injuries, according to the incident report. The four 18- to 20-year-olds from Washington Court House were all wearing seat belts.
Hartwell, who was northbound on Central, had his lights flashing but was not using his sirens due to the type of call he was addressing, Ricketts said. The SUV was eastbound on Xenia Drive.
Both Hartwell and the people in the SUV said in statements that a house and large tree at the southwest corner of the intersection prevented them from seeing each other until the last second.
