Open Records Summary :
Two people and a police K9 were killed as a result of a police chase crash in York. A deputy reportedly attempted to traffic-stop a 2008 silver Ford F-150 seen to be driving erratically in York County. The vehicle did not immediately stop and police escalated a chase in excess of 100 miles per hour and continued to Road H and Road 18 where the vehicle stopped. Police allege that the man concealed his hands and advised officers that he wanted to die. Police claim that he advanced toward the officers and took over the marked patrol canine unit.
The man gained control of the police cruiser and another chase began.
The patrol vehicle stopped on the railroad tracks. The man then exited the vehicle and stood outside the vehicle as a train approached.
Officers tried to intervene and regain control of the patrol vehicle and retrieve the canine. The man got back into the patrol vehicle and a train blocked officers on the south which the man used to turn around and approach the train at fast speeds. The man struck a bystander vehicle at the crossing. Edinger and the K9 were killed in the crash
