Capitol Heights, MD - Officials have released graphic body-worn and dashboard camera footage showing the aftermath of a police-involved crash that claimed the life of 3-year-old Zoey Rose-Marie Harrison.
The crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. on March 7 in Capitol Heights. Footage released by the Maryland Office of the Attorney General shows an attempted traffic stop on an SUV along Marlboro Pike in District Heights. The SUV can be seen speeding away, crossing into oncoming traffic as the officer pursued.
The officer lost sight of the SUV, but soon encountered the crash scene on Addison Road South, where the vehicle had collided with four others. The video also captures the emotional moments as officers pulled Harrison and her mother from their vehicle, which had been forced into a wooded area. Both were hospitalized, but the girl later died.
The SUV’s driver was taken into custody and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Occupants of the other vehicles sustained minor injuries.
