During the investigation, traffic detectives gathered information indicating the traffic collision may have been intentional. The investigation was then turned over to the department's Homicide Unit.
According to O'Brien, officers from other areas in the city were asked to respond to the scene, due to staffing issues in the department's Southern Division where the collision occurred.
