FDL Police Officer Not At Fault In Accident

Update:

The dash cam in the squad car of a Fond du Lac Police officer was rolling when his squad was hit by another driver Tuesday night in Fond du Lac. Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Captain Rick Olig says they were asked to investigate and the video from the dash cam in the Officer’s squad car and information stored to the hard drive in the squad told them a lot about the accident. Olig says the video and other driving information is saved to the hard drive in the squad when the lights are turned on or the squad is involved in a significant event. Officer Jared Pfalzgraf and the other driver 44-year-old Nairobi Hull of Fond du Lac were both taken to St. Agnes Hospital where they were treated and released. Hull was arrested afterwards for driving under the influence causing injury. She’s facing other traffic charges too after going through a flashing red traffic light at the intersection of 2nd and Macy Streets.
