Event : Passenger killed by police chase crash after stop sticks
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 01/08/2023, Monroe County deputies and Washington Township PD together with Toledo PD chased a vehicle at high speed until it crashed, killing passenger Lesley Rosales at the intersection of West Monroe and Tecumseh Streets in the Village of Dundee. Police did not explain why they were hunting the vehicle with so much effort. Toledo PD additionally claims that they terminated their chase of the vehicle after it entered Michigan, but officers from the Washington Township Police Department of Ohio continued relaying information on the vehicle’s location to Monroe County authorities, directly contradicting the claim that the chase had been called off. The vehicle continued fleeing while being chased by Monroe County Sheriff’s officers. Additionally, “stop sticks” were deployed during the chase and deflated two of the vehicle’s tires but the vehicle initially continued to flee at a high speed and in this destabilized state after being disabled at dangerous speeds with stop sticks, the vehicle was “unable to negotiate the intersection,” struck a utility pole, caught fire and then officers approached the vehicle, made a forced entry to extract the driver and a passenger. The driver was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Lesley Rosales died. It is unknown why police chased the vehicle so aggressively. No officers were charged.
