Lopez said a car clipped his car. Not sure if this adds anything to clear things up, but it tells a different story:
"NY driver arraigned in crash that killed policeman
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island man has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving, assault and other charges in a crash that killed an off-duty New York City police officer.
Jonathan Lopez, of East Meadow, was arrested early Sunday following a wreck on the Southern State Parkway in Massapequa (mas-uh-PEEK'-wuh.)
Police say Lopez crashed into the rear of a car driven by 25-year-old Kevin Jessup, who later died.
Jessup worked in the 106th Precinct in Queens. He joined the NYPD in July 2008. A passenger in his car suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say Lopez also hit another vehicle. That driver was treated and released.
Lopez, who is 20, was arraigned Monday in a Nassau County courtroom. Cash bail was set at $50,000.
His attorney, Fred Pollack, declined to comment."
