An interesting morning stop for Silverlake Police, after a woman spotted a police car at a red light, and sped through the light to catch the officers attention. The officer spotted the infraction and immediately stopped the vehicle.

Upon speaking with the driver, the officer found out that she did the action intentionally because her passenger was yelling at her and making threats.

The officer asked for assistance from another unit, and the male passenger was pulled from the vehicle. Upon further investigation it was found that the two occupants had a previous argument and led to built-up anger, which resulted in this incident.

No charges were pressed but the two individuals have been separated and placed on a temporary two-day no contact order to work out their personal differences and come to a conclusion on how to solve the issue(s).

Police do not recommend performing traffic violations to get the attention of police, but rather to call the non-emergent number and allow them to respond to the incident.

A Silverlake Motorist made a complaint to Silverlake Police after they witnessed a silver sedan driving erratically and speeding through traffic. Officers from Silverlake Central District caught up to the driver just before they crossed into Silverlake East District.

The motorist was charged with speeding, reckless driving, and distracted driving.

It was determined that the motorist was going to be late for a flight, and the motorist became aggravated with police during the stop. The motorist missed his flight due to the stop.

Officers from Silverlake Police remind motorists that there is not an excuse for speeding, even if you're late for a flight, and speeding will not get you there any faster, especially when you're caught.

Another fatality in Silverlake this evening, after a pedestrian stepped onto a major highway and was struck by a car. This is the second fatal vehicle versus pedestrian collision this year, and also the fifth fatal event in Silverlake in 2015.

Westlake PD has been called in to perform an investigation around the incident.

"We're not entirely sure the intentions of the individual who stepped into the highway. Whether it was a suicide attempt or a simple accident, it's completely unclear. We also haven't determined if alcohol is a factor in either parties, but we have concluded that speed is not a factor in this collision." said Collision Reconstruction Patrolman Jon Kastro in a statement.

Police are not releasing the name of the deceased until family has been notified.

Westlake County Police rushed to a home in Westlake County after a frantic 911 call made by a female. The situation was unclear to the dispatchers and was placed as a priority call.

Upon arrival, Police found a male and female physically fighting outside the residence, and yelling loudly. The female had her cellphone in her hand, still on the line to 911 operators.

Police took one male into custody without incident and that individual has been charged with assault, and domestic violence.

The female has since been taken to a shelter and a no-contact order has been issued on both parties until further notice.

Luckily, nobody was seriously injured and nobody had to be taken to hospital.

Silverlake Police and Fire Services have been called to assist in a Semi versus Car collision that occurred just on the border of Westlake County and Silverlake City, however the collision still occurred in Westlake County.

Due to the heavy rain, roads have been very slippery and is likely a factor in this crash. No details have been confirmed yet and media is still awaiting an update from police, but witnesses say that the sedan was travelling Westbound into Westlake County, when it suddenly lost control and swerved into the Eastbound lanes, colliding with the semi.

There's no word on injuries at this time, but it's believed at least one person is dead after the incident.

Silverlake Police have been called to investigate the collision and remain on scene.

All but one Westbound lane has been closed due to the collision, and all Eastbound traffic has been detoured as a result of the collision.
