The officers pursued the Honda with the emergency lights still activated. The ASIRT report said the police vehicle’s GPS showed the officers were travelling at 77 km/h at Jasper Avenue and up to 119 km/h on Bellamy Hill Road. A number of vehicles were on the bridge at the time, including a taxi whose cab video showed a Ford Ranger in the west lane, driving normally. The Honda collided with the Ford head-on, causing both to spin on the bridge. A fire started in the Honda shortly after.
When he turned onto the bridge, he believed they were going between 80 km/h and 90 km/h. The passenger received a fractured hand, knee and rib from the collision. “The discontinued his short pursuit and mitigated the risks it presented. As such, it cannot be said that the caused or contributed to the death or injury that resulted from the collision,” states the ASIRT decision.
The man then threw water from a water bottle at the officers. While the man acknowledged he was upset, he denied intentionally throwing the water at the officers and that it was an accident. However, a video showed the man whipping around the bottle, causing the water to come out, which was grounds for arrest for assault.
