The police officer who fatally struck a college student while driving almost three times the speed limit was charged Friday with a traffic infraction, according to local articles out of Seattle, Washington.

Prosecutors said that there’s no evidence that Officer Kevin Dave was impaired or driving recklessly when hitting Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, reported The Seattle Times. They previously said there would be no criminal case.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office previously said that there’s not enough evidence to show that Dave was driving “consciously disregarding safety,” according to Seattle ABC affiliate KOMO.

“Even if prosecutors could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a uniformed police officer traveling at 74 mph in response to a legitimate emergency call in a fully marked patrol car with lights and sirens was negligent, negligent driving does not meet the legal threshold for felony criminal charges under Washington State law,” they said.
