Cedar Rapids police PIT maneuver ends in deadly crash

A police chase through four Iowa counties ended in a fatal head-on crash Friday after a Cedar Rapids officer used a PIT maneuver to stop a suspect’s vehicle. The suspect’s car struck a vehicle driven by a 16-year-old, killing both drivers. The pursuit crossed Marshall, Tama, Benton and Linn counties. Former Des Moines Police Chief William Moulder discussed the risks of the maneuver with KCCI.
