Kansas City rejects a settlement of 915,000 US dollars for firefighters who have killed at Crash 3

Kansas City, Mo (KCTV) – A firefighter in Kansas City, who met three people in Westport, will not receive a settlement worth almost 1 million US dollars from the city.

The members of the city council decided not to approve an agreement of $ 915,000 in lawsuits due to the fire brigade union and Dominic Biscari due to employees. Biscari applied for the advantage after he was injured in the crash of 2021.

Biscari was behind the wheel of the fire engine when it ran a red light in Westport. The lights and sirens of the fire engine were switched on at the time of the crash. The fire engine hit a car and pushed it into a pedestrian and then into a Westport building. The building partially collapsed about a minute after the crash.

The crash flowed a Honda CRV under the pumper and killed the driver Jennifer San Nicolas and a passenger, Michael Elwood.

The pedestrian Tami Knight was also killed. She waited for the sidewalk while her boyfriend unlocked his car.

Biscari was charged with three cases of involuntary homicide. He took a plea called Alford plea, which means that he had not allowed guilt, but a judge or a jury recognized, would probably be guilty. He was sentenced to three years of supervised probation.

The fire brigade initially fired Biscari and was allowed to return to the department three years later.

KCFD changed its red light policy after Biscari had led a red light on the way to a call.

For the new KCFD directive, all KCFD vehicle operators are required for an emergency reaction to make a complete stop if, among other things, at red traffic lights, stop signs, at blind intersections or if crossing risks are available.

The guideline continues that the use of lights, sirens and air horns does not automatically give the right to emergency vehicles and that KCFD operators have to drive defensively in order to be prepared for the unexpected or inappropriate actions of others.
