Signal lights at Black Road and McNabb were functioning normally on May 14, 2006, the day Sault Ste. Marie Police Service Constable Don Doucet died in an early-morning collision.

Testifying this morning at the trial of Jeanette Niganobe in Sudbury, Ken Hamilton, traffic and communications manager with the City of Sault Ste. Marie, said the traffic signals did not malfunction in any way.

The court also heard today from Constable William Freeman, who was with Doucet in a "stealth" cruiser at the time of the fatal crash.

Freeman, who suffered a head injury, testified that he remembers nothing of the crash, only being taken to hospital later in another police vehicle.

The trial continues today.
