Crash Report Released in Accident Involving Montgomery Police Officer

   The crash report involving a Montgomery Police officer has been made available to the media. WVAS News received a copy of the report from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. The February 17 crash happened at the corner of Woodley Road and Spring Valley. An unmarked police car collided with another car, critically injuring the officer, identified as Carlos Taylor and also injuring the other driver, now identified as Mae Francis Williams of Montgomery. A witness to the accident is quoted as saying the officer’s car passed her at a high rate of speed and when he approached the intersection he applied his brakes but appeared to then lose control, striking the other vehicle. The report also states that officer Taylor was in pursuit of two men with a gun at the time of the wreck. Williams was taken to Birmingham for injuries to her ankle, according to the document. Taylor has been in critical condition, but officials said this week, he has shown signs of improvement.
