old inm median got approximately 20year
old uh male still
breathing to
pull according to a statement put out by
the Maryland Attorney General's office
both the driver and the passenger were
juveniles so their identities are being
withheld in accordance with juvenile
privacy laws according to the same
statement the driver of the civilian
vehicle and the suspect were taken to a
local hospital with non-life-threatening
injuries however the passenger in the
suspect's vehicle died from their
injuries 2 Days Later
due to juvenile privacy laws it is
unknown What charges the driver will
face and Maryland attorney general's
independent investigations division has
assumed the investigation ultimately
several factors combined that resulted
in this tragedy those included the
extreme speed the point of impact on the
passenger side and the lack of a seat
belt being worn which also prevented
airbag deployment hey everyone I'm John
and I appreciate you for watching and
when a call comes out of a police radio
for robbery officers only have the
that's provided by Dispatch so many
times they don't know what they're
rolling up on and I've been in many foot
Pursuits chasing people for different
things some for vehicle theft and some
for robbery but it's a different
experience when it involves a vehicle
Pursuit because think about it if the
suspect has already shown their lack of
respect for the law and now they're in a
vehicle trying to get away this puts the
public the officers and the vehicle
occupants in an extreme amount of danger
and unfortunately on many occasions it
ends tragically so in our case today out
of Virginia we have police in a vehicle
pursuit of suspects who allegedly
committed a robbery and this suspect is
traveling well over 100 mph and it's
also nighttime and navigating nighttime
Pursuits are a unique challenge for
police and keep this in mind in most
police departments there are stringent
rules for even initiating a Pursuit and
even with those rules in place that
still doesn't take away the danger
element but these officers are doing a
great job they're keeping the suspect in
sight and doing their best to remain at
a safe distance and at this time we do
notice that there's multiple police
departments involved in this Pursuit and
as if it wasn't dangerous enough the
suspect literally goes dark and turns
off his lights so now this is an
extremely scary situation because we
have other motorist out on the road and
then we do notice that the officer tried
to deploy the spikes but the suspect
totally avoided them and then it happens
the suspect's vehicle comes to an
intersection just as an unsuspecting
vehicle was turning and the suspect
crashes into that motorist and as police
Clos into the suspect he's conscious in
talking and complaining about his leg
however his passenger is not moving and
the airbags did not deploy lastly even
as a retired officer watching this was
extremely difficult cuz many times
civilians who are just going about their
life are thrust into an unavoidable
situation and although we've seen the
footage we don't know the long-term
health issues that that person may have
to deal with but as far as a suspects go
life is about choices and once you've
decided on a certain Road sometimes
there's no turning back
