KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department’s file on the deadly fire truck crash in Westport from 2021 reveals police spoke with the KCFD whistleblower as part of their investigation.
The KSHB 41 I-Team previously reported on a paramedic who raised concerns about Kansas City, Missouri, Fire Department driver Dominic Biscari, nearly three months before the deadly Westport crash. Biscari was behind the wheel of the fire truck the night of the crash.
Three people, Jennifer San Nicolas, Tami Knight and Michael Elwood, died after the fire truck and SUV collided in December 2021.
The email the I-Team uncovered had a subject line that said “horrendous driving.” It was referring to Biscari’s driving of an ambulance.
A newly discovered audio recording details the paramedic’s concerns and what she says happened after. The paramedic also noted that she trained Biscari.
“He was adequate. Could do the job. I wouldn’t have released him if he couldn’t,” the paramedic told KCPD.
The I-Team is not revealing her identity to protect her status as a whistleblower. She said she taught Biscari how to responsibly drive emergency vehicles.
“The first day after he was released off evaluation, he did in fact wreck an ambulance by turning illegally in the middle of an intersection. He pulled a U-turn,” she said.
The audio interview was part of KCPD’s 323-page investigative report...
