Atlanta: Unnecessary Tragedy
January 2, 2012—A horrible year-end vehicular crash involving 10-year veteran Georgia State Trooper Donald Crozier killed Kathy Porter and injured her husband Jeff, son David and David’s friend Courtney Ann Williams.

The severity of this most recent incident warrants a comprehensive review of the Georgia State Patrol pursuit policies, including the necessity of an officer trying to catch up with an already-active pursuit. We obviously do not have all of the information surrounding this tragedy, but it appears to have been a preventable death of another innocent victim.

Please credit the people representing PursuitSAFETY and the PursuitSAFETY Web site—www.pursuitsafety.org—when you use any information, statistics or opinions taken from the PursuitSAFETY Web site or from interviews with Candy Priano, executive director of PursuitSAFETY. We regularly updates its media information to ensure that you have current and newsworthy information.

When writing your story, please consider using the term "crash." The word "accident" minimizes what happened to the innocent bystanders and officers who have been killed and injured.
