Details of the Police Pursuit and Crash
The initial information available indicates that police were chasing the vehicle. The chase originated in Trenton after a Trenton police officer who was working for the New Jersey State Police task force initiated a traffic stop in relation to a weapons investigation. At that time, the driver of the dark-colored car fled the scene. It then crossed state lines and traveled along Interstate 95. It then exited the highway onto Torresdale Avenue.
Police Vehicle Struck
That is when the driver swerved as it drove around a white Toyota Highlander. The police officer was in an unmarked police SUV. The officer also attempted to go around the Highlander, but the Highlander veered too far to the left before striking the police vehicle. The driver of the Highlander also suffered injuries. The driver of the Highlander was in significant pain and was taken to the hospital. The car being chased was able to flee.
