Mike Baker, who lives close by, said, “Somebody lost their life or something that could have been avoided.” Baker added, “Just complete shock yeah especially when you know you hear somebody lost their life..” He also said, “But when I fell sleep I didn’t hear no banging noise, nothing alarmed us about the crash. Like I said, we were just surprised.”Another neighbor, Taylor Aune, called the crash “really unfortunate.” Aune also said, “Any individual would hit a police car and then at the same time continue to chase and run when something like this happens. All you have to do is stop. I doubt that that police officer was gonna do anything to harm the individual. You know.”Investigators have not released the name of the man who died.Follow FOX45 reporter Keith Daniels on X and Facebook. Send tips to Kdaniels@sbgtv.com.
