NARRATIVE:
On 04/09/2021, 23-year-old Tyler James McCroskey of Maryville was killed in a vehicle crash following a multi-agency police pursuit in Blount County, Tennessee.
.
McCroskey was born on 05/21/1997 and was 23 years old when he died on 04/09/2021. A memorial established by his family specifically attributes his death to a high-speed police chase involving Blount County, Sevier County and state law-enforcement officers.
.
The available evidence establishes a police-pursuit connection but does not provide enough reliable detail to reconstruct the complete chronology of the pursuit, including where officers first attempted to stop McCroskey, why the pursuit was initiated, the precise route traveled, speeds involved, or the exact location and mechanics of the fatal crash.
.
The 04/09/2021 Blount County fatality documented by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System is consistent with the independently documented death of Tyler James McCroskey following a police pursuit.
