William BlackettOfficer William Blackett was killed when his motorcycle crashed into an automobile ahead of him as it was turning a corner.

Officer Blackett, along with another motorcycle patrolman, were pursuing a speeder on Pico near 23rd Street when the accident occurred. Another car passed between the speeder and police, according to Chief Webb, and Officer Blackett collided with the other vehicle.

Officer Blackett had served with the agency for four years.

Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of our fellow community members and healthcare workers, we have decided to cancel this Saturday’s annual Candy Cane Drive. Though we’re saddened to not be Santa’s official escort around our city this year, the big guy has told us to rest assured that Santa Monica is on the nice list for his rounds next Thursday night. Happy Holidays everyone and we’re confident we’ll be back to this great tradition next year.

Stay safe, stay well and stay merry.
