Officer Haddad Injured in North Coast Car Crash on Highway 101
North Coast, California (May 25, 2019) – One of the officers hurt in a Car crash in Ukiah Thursday evening has been identified as Officer Haddad, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision was reported at around 4:00 p.m. May 23, on Highway 101, near Hopland.
The accident happened when Zachary McKnight driving a 2016 Dodge Charger patrol car with Officer Haddad riding as his passenger on northbound Highway 101 collided with a 2000 GMC 2500 pickup driven by Guardino, also on the northbound lane. Initial reports indicated that McKnight activated the patrol car’s rear emergency lights and slowed down to make a U-turn while still within the northbound lane after he observed a vehicle traveling southbound on Highway 101 at high speed.
Guardino sustained minor injuries while McKnight and Haddad suffered moderate hurts following the crash. It was not clear whether or not the victims were transported to the hospital for treatment.
All the three parties were wearing their seat belts at the time of the collision.
The CHP affirmed that drugs or alcohol were not factors at the time of the collision.
Meanwhile, the authorities are still investigating the leading cause of the accident.
