Does an emergency lights-and-siren response excuse an officer from liability in a fatal collision? 👇🚓
Columbus police have released footage of a deadly collision involving an officer responding to an urgent 911 call. The impact occurred at the intersection of West Broad Street and North Central Avenue, resulting in the death of 30-year-old Corey Tinnes.
As an Injury Lawyer, I know that these cases are devastating for everyone involved. When a life is lost in a collision with a government vehicle, the investigation must determine if the officer followed departmental policy and state law regarding emergency maneuvers. Our hearts go out to the Tinnes family as the Highway Patrol continues its investigation into this tragedy. ⚖️
