KCCI • • nation
Key Points:
- Iowa authorities used a PIT maneuver to stop Garrett R. Sager, who was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 30 during a police chase across four counties.
- The maneuver caused Sager to lose control and crash head-on into a vehicle driven by 16-year-old Kayan Williams, who was killed in the crash; Sager also died.
- Sager had an active arrest warrant and was initially stopped for speeding and equipment violations before fleeing and leading police on the pursuit.
- During the chase, Sager fired shots at law enforcement, hitting a police cruiser, and multiple attempts were made to stop him before the fatal crash.
- The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Community School District superintendent extended condolences to Williams' family, noting that Kayan was the son of the middle school principal, and will assume responsibility for school operations.
