According to investigators, at approximately 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25, 2015, Corporal Peter Doyle was preparing to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle that was traveling westbound on Roosevelt Blvd. The vehicle was in the left turn lane and began to make a left turn onto Dodge Street as Corporal Doyle followed.  

As Corporal Doyle turned left he did not see the driver of a 2006 GMC Pickup truck traveling eastbound on Roosevelt Blvd. The driver of the GMC was unable to stop and avoid a collision, causing the GMC Pickup to strike the front wheel well area of Corporal Doyle’s marked Chevy Tahoe.
