What Can Happen When a Police Pursuit Ends in a Crash?
A vehicle involved in a police pursuit may travel at changing speeds and encounter other traffic during the chase. Sudden turns, lane changes, stops, or attempts to avoid other vehicles can increase the chance of a crash.
Intersections can present additional risks because vehicles may approach from several directions. Roadway design, traffic signals, visibility, and the speed of the vehicles can affect how a collision develops.
Injuries after a crash can range from minor to severe. Medical evaluations may be needed even when the extent of harm is not immediately known. Vehicle damage, roadway evidence, and accounts from people who witnessed the crash can help provide information about what occurred.
