Event : Killed by police PIT maneuver during police chase
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Troup County Sheriff’s Office announced that they chased a vehicle, escalated the hunt to 100 mph and attacked the vehicle with a PIUT maneuver which is known to be almost certainly lethal at such speeds and as expected, the car was hit by police, knocked off the road, ejecting a man and 2 women. The man died. The women were confirmed to be injured and in unknown condition. Police did not accuse the vehicle of anything other than not stopping on command and it appears that was why they were targeted by high-speed PIT and killed and injured.
