Officer(s) : Sharmaine Buckley
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Third party motorist killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A Baton Rouge officer crashed into eight vehicles while racing to Government Street where someone had allegedly fired at police. The officer involved in this wreck was traveling at unknown speed, hit a Domino’s delivery driver and 7 other cars. The impact ejected the engine of the pizza delivery vehicle and sent it airborne. Caleb James Chapetta, a third-party motorist who was on the road when the police cruiser crashed into multiple cars at once, was ejected from his vehicle from the high-speed impact and died. The exact speed of the officer is unknown. Also unknown is the necessity of the racing cruiser as multiple vehicles typically respond to a “shots fired” call and the need for numerous police cars to race through town commonly presents duplicate efforts and risks.
