Sunday crash damages Marshall PD vehicle
MARSHALL — A weekend collision involving a Marshall Police squad car and another vehicle caused “significant damage” to the squad car, but injuries were not reported, Marshall Public Safety Director Jim Marshall said Monday.
More details on the crash were not available Monday. The crash was reported at 2:33 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of North Fourth Street and West Redwood Street, but the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office said a report on the incident is still pending.
Marshall said that in accidents involving MPD patrol vehicles, a different agency will usually handle the investigation. In this case, it’s the Sheriff’s Office, he said.
Marshall said MPD was working with its insurance company, and looking into repairs for the squad car. “The difficult part is we are now down a squad car,” Marshall said. He said MPD currently has a fleet of eight squad cars. “They are used quite a bit,” he said.
