The Seattle Police Department released bodycam video Monday showing what appears to be an officer joking and laughing about a woman who was struck and killed by a patrol car in January.
The footage from officer Daniel Auderer’s body-worn camera was taken on Jan. 24, the day after a Seattle police car driven by another officer hit Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old Northeastern University student, in a crosswalk while responding to an overdose call.
"He’s going 50 [mph]. That's not out of control. That's not reckless for a trained driver," the officer can be heard telling a colleague about the fatal collision, adding that he did not think there was a criminal investigation being carried out.
Police, however, said that the officer driving the patrol car was traveling at 74 mph in a 25-mph zone while responding to a priority-one call at the time of the fatal collision, FOX13 Seattle reported.
"But she is dead," the officer says toward the end of the video clip before laughing. "No, it’s a regular person. Yeah, just write a check," the officer says before laughing again. "Eleven thousand dollars. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value."
