The leader of the new Family Justice Center is facing a charge of leaving the scene of an accident.
Police said Valerie Radu was driving south on N. Market Street on Wednesday when her Ford Taurus came in contact with a motorcycle.
The motorcyclist, Jared Cullum, was charged with failing to yield right-of-way.
Police said Ms. Radu proceeded on to a meeting at the Police Services Center on Amnicola Highway, where officers noticed that a motorcycle handle was lodged between the passenger door and front fender.
She was questioned about the damage to her car and the handle and she said she had felt a bump, but continued driving.
A traffic investigator said, "Because of the amount of damage to the side of the Taurus and because the damage started at the front and went along side the entire right side of the car, I determined that the Taurus was overtaking the motorcycle and that the driver should have seen the motorcyclist striking the front right side of her car and heard and felt the impact of the rider's bike and body along the side of her car."
The Taurus is a city-owned vehicle.
The city's human resources department is looking into the issue.
