Topeka ? A Topeka police officer did not follow department policies and procedures when he sped through a red light without his lights or siren activated and struck a pickup truck, a police review board said.

A punishment has not been determined for officer Mark Meier, who was hurt in the Oct. 6 crash, along with the truck’s driver and passenger. None of their injuries were considered life threatening.

Meier was found to be at fault because the department prohibits officers from violating traffic laws when their sirens are off.

The board’s determination comes one month after a judge ordered that a fired Topeka officer should stand trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter after the officer went through a stop sign and hit a truck, killing its driver.

In the more recent crash, Meier said he had begun pursuit of a car that matched the description of a stolen vehicle when he passed through the intersection.

An accident reconstruction team determined that Meier approached the intersection traveling at 41 to 43 mph, said Lt. John Sidwell, a spokesman for the police department. The intersection was marked with a legal speed of 30 mph.

According to a statement from the department released Friday, Sidwell said Meier slowed his car to 33 to 34 mph before colliding with the truck.

Sidwell said the findings of the review board were sent to Chief Ed Klumpp for review and any disciplinary action would remain confidential.
