Firefighters who caused a crash in which 3 people were killed

Kansas City, Mo – The Kansas City, Missouri, fireman, which caused a crash that led to the death of 3 people in Westport, will not receive a settlement of 915,000 US dollars from the city.

The Council Committee for Financial, Public Security and Governance Committee met on Tuesday for its regular meeting with the proposed agreement in the committee's docket.

The committee voted for the closed session, where they voted for the ordinance of the committee -Docket.

This means that the KCMO firefighter Dominic Biscari does not receive a recommended settlement of $ 915,000 from the city for the time being.

Biscari drove a fire truck at the Westport Road and Broadway to cross the west port Road and Broadway that fell into a vehicle in December 2021.

Jennifer San Nicolas, the driver of the vehicle hit by the Pumper Truck, and her passenger, Michael Elwood, died in the crash.

In addition, the crash sent both the fire engine and the San Nicolas vehicle from the street to a building.

Tami Knight, a pedestrian who walked on the sidewalk with the building, was also killed.

In February 2023, Biscari owed three cases of the involuntary homicide of a second degree and was sentenced to three years of probation.

Local 42, the union that represents KCMO firefighters, submitted a complaint about Biscari's suspension in March 2023 without paying the result of his criminal proceedings, as can be seen from an earlier history of KSHB 41.

A referee heard the case and said that Biscari could only be suspended for three days that “most references” are removed to the crash from his personnel files, the former KSHB 41 story. The referee also said that the arbitration costs should be assessed to the city.

The city council's legal department recommended that the city council be approved by a complaint with Biscari.
