Edmonton Police continue to investigate the death of a 52-year old motorist who was killed when a stolen vehicle, being chased by police, slammed into his vehicle.
Officers say they tried to pull the vehicle over, but when they failed, they began a pursuit that ended 20 seconds later, out of concerns for safety. That is when the vehicle hit the other car, killing the driver.
With us on the Crime Panel are Mark Cherrington, Youth Justice Advocate; Fred Rayner former Edmonton Police Chief and now President of Rayner Consulting; and Ian Mckay, Defence Lawyer.
