The woman driver of this small car found the very quickest way to get a police officer's attention Monday as a stuck gas pedal caused her vehicle to crash into and under the rear end of a city police cruiser on Sprague Way. Spokane Police Officer Jeff Clark, who was uninjured, sits in his suspended squad car to complete reporting the accident. The driver of the other automobile was taken to the hospital for a checkup.
