The SUV struck the rear passenger side of Sergeant Scoggins' patrol unit which caused him to spin and hit another vehicle which was stopped at the traffic signal.

While it was obvious this was just an accident with no malice involved, Sergeant Scoggins was issued a citation for failure to yield while turning left.
