The accident report partially blamed Kindel for the accident because he was walking on the poorly lit road, wearing dark clothes and didn't move out of the way of Hammock's patrol car.
An investigation by the county's accident review board found that while the crash was preventable, there was no criminal wrongdoing by Hammock.
