City : Wheaton

County : Montgomery

State : Maryland

Agency : Montgomery County PD

Cause of death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash

Disposition : No Known charges

Open records summary :

Montgomery PD stopped a juvenile. Some sort of incident occurred causing the juvenile to try to flee from the traffic stop. Police chased a vehicle that refused a traffic stop until the vehicle crashed into first a police cruiser, then another vehicle. The driver was killed. He was a juvenile and for this reason, police withheld his identity. Police were apparently aware that there were 5 young people in the vehicle from the traffic stop but did not hesitate to jeopardize their lives to chase a nervous teen driver into a fatal wreck. All 4 passengers were injured as well. Police released no more information and it is unknown whether the chase had been authorized and permissible by Maryland pursuit policies. Police specifically did not claim that the vehicle had been stolen and also made no claims that the driver had been wanted by police, suggesting that some sort of vehicle code or moving violation may have been the cause.

“Vehicle pursuits shall only be conducted using authorized police department emergency vehicles that are equipped with, and operating emergency lighting and sirens, as required by law (Md. Code TR § 21-106). Officers shall drive with due regard for the safety of all persons and property.” Source: University of Maryland
