Police identify N. Ogden man killed in crash with police

NORTH OGDEN — Police have identified a man killed in a car crash with an Ogden police officer.

Police said Richard Gee, 45, of North Ogden didn't yield to traffic when he was hit by a police cruiser driven by officer Christopher Edwards.

"We concluded there was a failure to yield from Mr. Gee," said North Ogden police officer Jason Child. "The officer had the right of way on Washington (Boulevard)."

Child said officers were trying to figure out why Gee didn't yield. He said it is possible high snowbanks in the area of 1900 North and Washington Boulevard made it difficult for him to see.

Officers said Gee was not wearing a seat belt. The crash left Edwards with a broken arm and a concussion.
