send me an email with his account of the accident.The following is an abbreviated version of Nathan's
account.
Nathan wrote the following; On the 12th of June around 1600 hours, Nathan and his girlfriend were
driving in Nathan's black 2012, Honda Civic(WA plate CWK4703). Nathan pulled up to the stoplight at
Main Ave South and Houser Way South to turn right onto Houser Way South. In the right-hand Lane, a car
that Nathan believes was a 2020 or newer Subaru outback four door silver in color pulled up next to his
car. Nathan writes the male driver of the Subaru was glaring at Nathan's girlfriend who was in the
passenger seat and then glared at Nathan. Nathan writes that this made him confused and showed a
confused expression on his face. Nathan's windows were already slightly rolled down and after he
Looked at the driver of the Subaru, Nathan writes the driver rolled down his window and yelled "Do you
have a fucking problem" and "What's up buddy". Nathan told the driver that he did have a problem and
asked the driver why he was staring at them and told the other driver that they should both focus on the
road.

Officer Narrative-Continued
Nathan rolled up his windows while the other driver continued to yell at Nathan as they waited for the
Light to change. Nathan states the vehicles ahead of them started to move forward as the light changed.
Nathan states as the cars moved forward, he attempted to merge from the left lane into the right-hand
Lane, since there was no reason to be next to the other driver in traffic. Nathan proceeded to change
Lanes, as the driver of the Subaru accelerated striking the right rear of Nathan's vehicle. Nathan
attempted to slow down his vehicle to the side.As Nathan did this,the driver of the Subaru Leaned out of
his window and threaten Nathan, as Nathan states"as if I was his enemy". Nathan states that the driver
threaten to kick or kill Nathan, Nathan could not fully understand what the driver exactly said.
Nathan states he immediately chose to leave the area for safety for himself and his girlfriend. Nathan
mentions that the driver appeared to be intoxicated and was slurring his speech.The driver of the
Suburau then proceeded to follow Nathan for several minutes, driving erratically and threating Nathan
and his girlfriend out the window. Nathan states he was able to drive away to a safe spot. Nathan stated
he consulted his mother and ended up calling 911,45 minutes Later. Nathan provided me with photos of
the damage to his car,which showed what appeared to be white/silver paint transfer and scratches on
the right rear quarter panel of Nathan's car. I later uploaded the photos to evidence.com.
The driver of the Subaru called in to report the hit and run shortly after Nathan did.The driver of the
Subaru was identified as Scout L Hanicker(DOB 03/30/1985). The call notes on Scouts 911 call read;

I spoke to Scout via phone. Scout was incredibly difficult to get his side of the story and was belligerently
yelling at me over phone. I had originally suggested that I complete a Sector Collison and provide both
Socut and Nathan with exchange of information sheets, due to both drivers calling in. Scout was not
happy with this suggestion was very disrespectful and loud over the phone. I provided Scout with a case

number and my email and asked him to write out his side of the collision.The following is an abbreviated
account of Scout's side. Scout wrote the following;Socut approached the traffic light when the driver
next to him began to question why Scout was Looking at him. Scout told the other driver that he was not
staring at the driver and asked the other driver"if there was a problem". Scout states he rolled up his
windows. Scout states the other driver turned sharply toward Scout's vehicle, scraping the front driver
side and front of Scout's car, damaging the headlight and removing paint. Socut states he followed the
vehicle while attempting to get the other driver to stop and exchange information. Scout states the other
driver continued towards 1-405 and disappeared down the freeway. Scout provided pictures of the
damage to his vehicle that I Later uploaded to evidence.com.
Scout stated over the phone and sent me multiple emails about how unhappy with the Police service
that he received. Scout was not willing to do an exchange of information with Nathan and would only
accept his version of events.Any suggestion otherwise made him very belligerent over the phone and
made him unreasonable.
Due to Nathan merging into another Lane and colliding with a vehicle 1 determined him to be the unit 1
driver and Scout to be the unit 2 driver.
This report is for insurance purposes only as bit drivers decided to leave the city and the scene of the
collision before calling 911.There is not any camera footage at the intersection of Main Ave South and
Bronson Way South. This ends my report.
