Dallas police officer is killed
when SUV slams into squad
DALLAS (AP) — An off-duty Dallas police
officer was killed in a highway accident when a
sport-utility vehicle slammed into the back of his
slow-moving Crown Victoria squad car, causing it to
burst into flames.
Officer Patrick Metzler, 31, died in the early
Wednesday morning collision. He was an eight-year
veteran of the Dallas Police Department, and is sur
vived by his parents, brother and sister who live out
of state.
Police departments have complained that Crown
Victorias are prone to catch fire when struck from
the rear at high speed because the gas tank is posi
tioned behind the rear axle.
At least a dozen officers across the country have
been killed in fiery crashes in Crown Victorias since
1983.
Metzler was one of three officers driving slowly
along a freeway as escorts for a large truck with
lighted arrows directing cars away from a closed
lane, said Dallas Police Department spokeswoman
Janice Houston.
Investigators said the driver of the SUV, Jeffrey
Goddard, 23, of Dallas, swerved in front of the sign
truck and struck Metzler’s vehicle, which was the
last of the three police cars.
Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash.
Police said witnesses reported that the red Jeep had
been swerving and traveling above the speed limit.
Goddard and an unidentified passenger were
taken to Baylor University Medical Center.
Goddard suffered a broken hip, and was listed in fair
condition Wednesday. The passenger suffered minor
