ASSIGNMENT/ARRIVAL
On 05/30/2025 at approximately 1555 hours, I assisted Officer K. Peterson with a two-vehicle, non-injury
collision that occurred in the intersection of S Grady Way and Williams Avenue S in the city of Renton,
King County,Washington.
Officer Peterson was with both vehicles and their drivers in the parking lot of Chevron, 800 S Grady Way,
who had moved their vehicles off the roadway.
I arrived at approximately 1601 hours.
UNIT 1: HYUNDAI SONATA
I observed a blue Hyundai Sonata (WA/CFX5173, Unit 1) parked in the parking lot of 800 S Grady Way.
Unit 1 had been moved from its point of rest. Unit 1 had minor damage to the front passenger bumper.
UNIT 2: NISSAN KICKS

passenger bumper and the driver door.

collision. I identified Nabors by her valid Washington Driver License. I established Nabors as the driver of
Unit 2 by her admission.
STATEMENT: NABORS,CRYSTAL U.
I spoke with Nabors about the collision.The following is a summary of our conversation:
Nabors drove Unit 2 north through the parking lot of Home Depot, 901 S Grady Way,to enter S Grady Way
via the private driveway that leads to Williams Avenue S.The traffic signal was a solid,green left-turn
arrow. Nabors intended to turn left(west) onto S Grady Way from the private driveway.
As Nabors was in the intersection making her turn, Nabors saw Unit 1 driving south on Williams Avenue S
toward S Grady Way. Unit 1 entered the intersection without stopping and appeared to be turning right
(west)onto S Grady Way.
Unit 1's front driver bumper collided with Unit 2's front passenger bumper. Unit 2's path was diverted
south from the force of the collision. Unit 2 subsequently collided with a barrier along the south side of S
Grady Way.
This concluded my conversation with Nabors.
STATEMENT: MERINO CARBON.ELL. LAZARO
Officer Peterson spoke with Lazaro via a Spanish Language Line interpreter prior to my arrival. Officer
Peterson told me Lazaro stated he turned right(west)onto S Grady Way from Williams Avenue S against a
solid, red traffic signal. Lazaro did not stop before entering the intersection.

The proximate cause of the collision was determined by statements from Lazaro and Nabors.
Lazaro's actions were the proximate cause of the collision, specifically Lazaro's violation of RCW
