“We have taken up the matter strongly with local authorities in Seattle and Washington State as well as senior officials in Washington, D.C., for a thorough investigation and action against those involved in this tragic case,” the Consulate General of India in San Francisco said in a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Seattle Police Department’s traffic collision investigation squad later reported that Dave struck Kandula at approximately 63 mph (101 km/h) in a 25 mph (40 km/h) area, and Kandula was thrown approximately 138 feet (42 meters).
In a statement this week, the police department said that the recording was identified by an employee “who was concerned about the nature of statements heard on that video.”
The video was sent to the city’s Office of Police Accountability “for investigation into the context in which those statements were made and any policy violation that might be implicated,” the statement said.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is now conducting a criminal review of the crash.
