Richmond Police Drop Charge Against Driver Charged in Police Cruiser Crash

Posted on May 20, 2009

Richmond police have reversed course and cleared a woman they originally charged in a predawn wreck last week on Hull Street Road that left an officer injured with neck damage. The officer, Mark Levy remains hospitalized and has been placed in a halo. He was listed in stable condition yesterday at VCU Medical Center, and his boss said he expects Levy to return to work after several months of recovery.

Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood said that his department was continuing its investigation of the crash and had withdrawn a charge of failure to yield the right of way that had been filed against Latoya D. Carter, 27, of Richmond. Shortly after citing Carter after Friday's 4:24 a.m. collision, police found information on the computer of officer Levy's Ford Crown Victoria that indicated he was traveling 98 mph at the time in his marked cruiser while responding to a Code 2 -- or non-emergency -- call, sources said.

Levy, who according to sources was not wearing a seat belt, was hospitalized with broken bones in his neck after the collision, which occurred near Hull Street Road's intersection with Swanson Road.

Police said Levy was eastbound on Hull Street Road when Carter's Chevrolet Malibu turned onto Hull from Swanson into the officer's path. The officer's Ford hit the Chevrolet, went off the road and slammed into a brick fence in the 5500 block of Hull.

It could not be determined whether the police car's emergency lights or siren were activated.

FAQs

Richmond Virginia Reckless Driving Attorney

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-bonedthe BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do thiseven whenthe owner of the other car paid the insurancepremiums on time?
