EL PASO, Texas – Victims and witnesses of a northeast El Paso collision involving an El Paso Police Department cruiser claim the officer caused the crash, and that police fabricated statements in the accident report to blame an innocent woman.

That woman is named Allyson. Her attorney asked us that we do not use her last name.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve broken down and cried because I’m going up against the Police Department,” she said.

Allyson claims she was heading to drop someone off Friday night when she pulled up to the intersection of Fred Wilson Avenue and Dyer Street.

"The light was red, I had come to a stop, I was only there for about a few seconds and then it turned green and I barely started to accelerate,” she said.

She said that’s when an EPPD cruiser came speeding through a red light, with no sirens or lights, and smashed into her car.

"The thing that I recall is just seeing the police logo right in front of me and of course I had no time to react -- that's just how fast he was going, there were no lights or sirens that even alerted anybody that he was around,” she said. “I hit the driver’s side of the police car, and then it spun out and hit two other cars.”

KFOX14 obtained the police report for the crash. It says investigating officer Leilani Ramos wrote that Allyson was the one who ran the red light. She was cited for that and Ramos gave her a speeding ticket.

“In the police report it’s clearly stated that I was the one who ran the red light and I was the one who was speeding which is completely false, it was the police officer,” Allyson said.
