Cop Dies After Car Wreck

By Beth Janicek

An unfortunate car wreck on Saturday night involving two police officers and another vehicle have prompted the department to investigate their “lights and siren policy”.

Officer David Seaton was responding to a robbery call when he proceeded through the intersection of Potranco and Hunt crashing into another vehicle causing Seaton's patrol car to ricochet and hit Officer Robert Davis as he was investigating another accident. Officer Davis was pinned under Officer Seaton’s patrol car.

Both officers were rushed to Wilford Hall where unfortunately Officer Davis was removed from life support today.

Darrel Lampkin the driver of the other vehicle was taken to University Hospital in stable condition.

San Antonio police Dept. spokesman Sgt. Gabe Trevino says this “will be investigated very thoroughly. Not only from the traffic investigation aspect of it, but department policy aspect of it, all those things will be looked at.”

The preliminary police report stated that Officer Seaton did not have his lights and siren on while driving through the intersection.
