OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Virginia Police hunted a vehicle at 115 mph until it crashed into an oncoming train. Haidan Smallwood, the passenger, was killed.
Police had hunted the vehicle because their ALPR apparently reported it as stolen. Smallwood’s family said that their daughter had told them that he had recently bought the vehicle and the family were under the impression that there appeared to be a possible mixup reported to police.
Her boyfriend who had fled from the aggressive police hunt involving several law enforcement agencies in a panic, was charged with 2nd degree manslaughter in her death.
Haidan Smallwood had graduated from high school recently and was enrolled in a nursing program at a university and was looking forward to a productive life.
