KANSAS CITY, Missouri (KCTV) -- Three months before that Westport fire pumper crash killed three people, supervisors were warned about Dominic Biscari’s “horrendous driving.” Biscari, age 21, was speeding and ran a red light (lights and sirens were on) in December of 2021.
KCTV5's I-team has uncovered additional information after studying just-released video and audio recordings from a police crash investigation. We found an interview a whistleblower did with police after the fatal crash. This interview was not included in the initial 323-page police case file released to KCTV5.
We learned that Biscari had crashed before. He crashed an ambulance, and he crashed his personal vehicle into a police car in the firehouse parking lot.
This whistleblower sent an email warning supervisors that Biscari was a dangerous driver. That was less than three months before the Westport crash.
We’ve previously reported on the email. The subject line was “Horrendous driving.” But with the newly-released audio recordings, we hear from the whistleblower and from the supervisors addressed in the email.
In the email, the whistleblower recounts a rough shift with Biscari as an ambulance driver. It details speeding, dangerous driving, and Biscari’s response. Police question the whistleblower about what happened to spur that email.
