The biggest question many want answered is who the driver is who allegedly blew through a stop sign and crashed into Officer Ivan Lopez.
Summerdale Police are hosting a press conference Thursday morning to hopefully answer that question and why it’s taken so long to release basic information.
“It’s just sad,” said Kevin Brock, Chief of Summerdale Police at the crash scene. “It’s just sad. When you’re dealing with something like this, so senseless, you have two people driving at a ridiculous speed. The speed limit on this road is 45, and they were estimated to be close to double than that coming through here. They blew the stop sign and connected with the officer.”
In the name of transparency, FOX10 pressed for answers all last week before going to the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office Monday.
