Bisard tapes reveal controversial decisions day of fatal crash

Bisard tapes reveal controversial decisions day of fatal crash

Report claims officer’s wife said Bisard had been drinking hours before fatal accident

Recordings of IMPD radio transmissions the day a metro police officer ran down a trio of motorcyclists on the city’s north side, killing Eric Wells and injuring two others, reveal the moment a top commander called for investigators but told a dispatcher that the accident was not alcohol-related.

At 12:04 p.m., approximately 43 minutes after Officer David Bisard crashed his patrol car into the motorcyclists at East 56th Street and Brendon Way South Drive, Major John Conley called for the Fatal Accident Team/Fatal Alcohol Crash Team.

“Hey, this is John Conley,” the major told a control dispatcher on recordings exclusively obtained by Fox59 News. “Can you tell me if the FACT team has been ordered for this crash?”

When Conley was advised that no such request had been made, the commander at the scene responded, “Authority of car 3 Chief (Ron) Hix can we go ahead and start them back this way?”

Casey Stoner to retire after MotoGP season‎

Twice world motorcycling champion Casey Stoner stunned the sport on Thursday by announcing he will quit at the end of the season for “family reasons”.

The 26-year-old Australian, who has won 35 MotoGP races in his career and leads the current standings after winning two of the season’s three events, made his announcement at a news conference ahead of Sunday’s French Grand Prix.

“After a long period of thought and numerous discussions with my wife and family, I have decided to stop competing at the end of the season,” said Honda’s defending champion.

Injury Sidelines American MotoGP Star Edwards Until Early June

American Colin Edwards is scheduled to return to the MotoGP World Championship at the Grand Prix of Catalunya on June 3 after undergoing successful surgery May 7 to repair a broken collarbone. He will miss the next race, the French Grand Prix, on May 20 at Le Mans.

Edwards, from Houston, suffered the injury Saturday, May 5 during a crash in qualifying at the Portuguese Grand Prix at the Estoril Circuit. Randy de Puniet fell in front of Edwards, causing him to crash and miss the race Sunday.

Dr. Javier Mir used 10 screws and a titanium plate during surgery in Barcelona, Spain, to rebuild Edwards’ collarbone, which was fractured in five places. Mir also operated on Edwards’ collarbone when it was broken in a crash last season.

How to buy a motocycle: Governor Mitch Daniels

1. Unless you’re planning off-road riding, there’s no reason for a motocross model, however cool you think you’d look.

2. Shop around. Prices can vary widely, and a lot of bikes are sold these days under distress.

3. Leave the checkbook at home, at least on the first trip. You are likely to become intoxicated by one bike, and you should give your head time to clear.

4. Leave your wife at home. She is unlikely to appreciate the necessity of this purchase.

IMPD deputy chief cleared in Bisard evidence mishandling

IMPD’s deputy chief who was suspended last month after revelations that a blood sample in the David Bisard case had been mishandled has been cleared of wrongdoing, IMPD confirmed Tuesday evening.

IMPD said Cunningham would assume responsibilities as deputy chief of the Administration Division, responsible for support services. She would be charged with enhancing communication between IMPD and Indianapolis human resources, IMPD said, along with internal communication between IMPD divisions.
