12-year-old boy killed in crash after high-speed chase involving Georgia trooper.
A 12-year-old boy from Georgia was killed after the vehicle he was in flipped during a chase involving a state trooper on Friday, and his grieving mother says police should have stopped pursuing the vehicle because there were children in it.
. Police said Moore’s Kia Sorento overturned after a pursuing trooper used the PIT, which is when a police vehicle clips the rear of a vehicle to make it spin out. But he then refused to"lower his driver window or produce any type of identification.” The trooper who pulled Moore over, who was not named, then asked for assistance and a deputy with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office responded. That deputy broke Moore's driver’s window.“The pursuit continued … at a high rate of speed and the driver was driving recklessly. The trooper terminated the chase … by using the Pursuit Immobilization Technique .
It was unclear Monday if Moore had retained an attorney. Moore’s relatives could not be reached for comment. He remained in custody Monday in the Paulding County jail, said Sgt. Ashley Henson, a spokesman with the sheriff’s office.
