Officer Narrative
Narrative
25-06027
Unless otherwise noted,the following occurred within the city limits of Renton, county of King, state of
Washington.
On 07/12/2025, 1 was working as a uniformed police officer for the city of Renton.At approximately 1833
hours, I was dispatched to vehicle versus bicycle collision at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, 1201 Lake
Washington Blvd N. Portions of my involvement in the incident were captured on my department-issued
bodycam.
Initially, I was enroute to the location reference a parking complaint. However, as Officer Latronico (who was
going with me) arrived at the park, he advised of the collision at the entrance.
When I arrived on scene, I observed a white 2013 Toyota Prius (WA lic/CSE9119) block northbound traffic at
the south entrance to the park. On the ground,was a white Specialized Rocker Hopper bicycle
(SN/M2HL09538), as well as its owner/rider. I identified him as Eric A Theis (10/08/1955—WA DOL photo). I
received the following account of the collision from him (which has been paraphrased):
He was at the pedestrian crosswalk situated at the intersection of the park entrance and Lake
Washington Blvd N.The crosswalk permits pedestrians crossing from the northwest corner of the
intersection to the northeast, and vice versa. In this instance he was going from the northwest to the
northeast, headed back towards the main road. As he began to cross, he was "cut off" by another
vehicle (not the prius).While still crossing, he turned his head to the left to yell at the driver who
almost hit him.Almost immediately after he turned, he was struck by unit 1,which hit him on the right
side of his body.
The damage to Eric's bike rendered it inoperable. He was forced to call his wife to have her pick him up at the
park.
I identified the driver of unit 1 as Mi Tran H Phan (02/02/2008—WA DOL photo). She informed Officer
Latronico that for an unknown reason, she never saw Eric on his bike. She proceeded to make the turn into the
park and subsequently struck him and his bike. I observed visible cosmetic damage to the front end of the
prius.
This incident occurred in the sCity of Renton,King County,Washington State.

Officer Narrative-Continued
Officer Latronico captured photos of the damages and uploaded them to evidence.com.
I believe the proximate cause of the collision to be unit 1. Regardless of whether unit 1 had a green light to
proceed into the park,they are required to clear the crosswalk of any pedestrians/cyclists prior to proceeding.
I certify(declare) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true
and correct.
