"police car was on routine patrol duty"
So I would assume it is not on urgent call?
Unless the civilian car was beating the traffic lights and really going fast, else I really cannot understand why would collision of such scale take place? Even if there's urgent call, shouldn't we practice defensive driving? (I still believe that accident of such scale takes two hands to clap)
