MORE: Middletown police obtain warrant for truck’s surveillance video in fatal crash
Kauffman allegedly ran a red light Jan. 6 at the corner of Verity Parkway and Lafayette Avenue. Teresa Day, 63, of Middletown, was killed in the crash.
Kauffman’s American Tire Distributors box truck struck Day’s Ford Fusion and pushed the car into a semi truck that was stopped at the red light, according to police.
Day was taken to Atrium Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. She was the only person injured in the crash, police said.
The box truck was equipped with surveillance video and belonged to ATD, according to the search warrant obtained by the Journal-News. When Detective Brook McDonald contacted the company, located in North Carolina, he was told it would not release video footage of the traffic crash without a search warrant.
Police are hoping the video can “support or disprove” the statements of the driver, according to the search warrant.
