Deadly Pursuit On Detroit’s West Side

UPDATE: The driver died in the hospital of injuries suffered in the collision with a parked vehicle. The video above shows that collision.

Motor City/Detroit – 0030hrs January 2 2017: Detroit Police scouts from the 10th Precinct were involved in a deadly pursuit early this morning on Detroit’s west side.

The 10th Precinct scouts (Scout Car 1031) were investigating a minor traffic collision involving a gray Dodge Caravan and an unfortunate pole at Joy Road & Livernois early today at about 12:30am.

The gray Dodge Caravan didn’t want to have anything to do with the po-po and decided to flee, attempting to ram the officer’s vehicle with theirs in the process.

Say hello to felony assault on a police officer.

The pursuit went from Livernois & Joy Road, to Carbondale and then went back up to Joy where it proceeded west. The minivan did its best to imitate a carnival bumper car ride, striking numerous parked vehicles while fleeing.

The pursuit terminated at Tireman & Whitcomb after the minivan struck another vehicle.

The passenger in the minivan was ejected during the collision. Detroit EMS medics pronounced the passenger deceased at the scene.

Say hello to vehicular manslaughter. No more birthdays.

The driver of the minivan was placed under arrest and conveyed to a local hospital with numerous injuries. A passenger in the vehicle they struck was also conveyed with minor injuries.

The dispatch audio follows the pursuit from Livernois & Carbondale to its conclusion, although the actual collision isn’t recorded on tape, sorry.

And so it goes….
