Description
The widow of a man who was killed in a police chase crash is suing IMPD and the city of Indianapolis.
James Collins, 83, was riding in an Uber on April 25, 2024. The car he was riding in was hit by a driver who was fleeing from IMPD at the intersection of 49th Street and Carvel Avenue, near North College Avenue on the city's north side.
Collins was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He died on June 15.
In the lawsuit, lawyers for Collins' widow call the deadly crash a "predictable outcome" because the high speed chase went through a "densely populated area."
