The family of the woman plan to file a lawsuit for a number of issues, including wrongful death of the unborn child, emotional distress, assault and battery, and personal injury.The woman was eight months pregnant at the time of the accident, and was on her way to the Bowling Center. The police vehicle, driven by Officer Michael Taylor, hit her on the driver´s side from behind. As a result, the woman´s car was pushed into a utility pole and then onto a grassed area.
The woman is now in rehabilitation, and the officer involved in the crash was not seriously injured. Witnesses report that the officer had his lights and sirens on when he hit the car, as he was responding to an emergency situation at the time of the crash.
