Woman is Seriously Injured During Dangerous Police Pursuit

Case Overview

This case involves a police chase that resulted in severe injuries for an innocent bystander. At the time of the incident in question, an officer was responding to a citizen’s report of a fight outside of a grocery store. When the officer arrived on the scene, he saw a black sedan exit the shopping center parking lot at a high rate of speed. Despite the fact that the officer did not know if the driver was involved in the fight, and did not witness a crime, he chose to pursue the vehicle. During the chase, the black sedan sped through a red light in a residential area and struck a pedestrian, who was rendered paraplegic. It was claimed that the officer did not adhere to his department’s policies when he chose to pursue the driver.
