False Suicide Call Nearly Claims Life of an Officer

A Coral Gables policeman on his way to a false suicide call had a narrow brush with death early Saturday afternoon when his patrol car smashed into a tree after being hit by another car. The officer, Martin Patrick Ryan, 33, of 1426 South Dixie Hwy., suffered rib injuries in the collision. The car's seat belt was credited by City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr. with saving Ryan from serious injury or worse. Ryan was southbound on Granada Boulevard with siren howling and light flashing when he was struck by Melvin James Robinson, 63, of 9900 Pan American Dr., Cutler Ridge. Robinson, according to Gables police, was westbound on Blue Road and came through the intersection without seeing or hearing the police car. The impact spun the cruiser around and smashed it backwards into a banyan tree. Estimated damage to the city vehicle is $800 and $250 to the Robinson car. No charges were filed.
