Event : Mother and son bystanders killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A mother and son leaving a Dollar Tree parking lot died when a police chase crashed into them. Two hours after the crash, the officer driving had been taken to the hospital, and a man named Michael Hawkins was found in the backseat of the police vehicle. Police initially did not know who he is and how he had gotten into the police car. The police vehicle was reported to be speeding excessively without lights or sirens.
The man in the backseat who was identified as Michael Hawkins was paralyzed from this crash. A lawsuit for this injury was filed against the city. His caretaker had called 911 because of his unusual behavior and he was led to the police car. Police still have not explained why he was in the back of the police car when it sped off on an unrelated call, crashed, killed 2 people and injured Hawkins who was not discovered injured in the police vehicle until hours later. Police are not allowed to take a second call while they have not completed the call they are on and the officer was obligated not to chase the second vehicle but conclude the first call which would have prevented the 2 fatalities and caused Mr. Hawkins to be paralyzed from the waist down and remain on life support as of 07/17/2024, the time of this update.
