Cops' actions questioned in crash

• Black Teenager Killed. Detroit Polce Accused of Intentionally Failing to Render Assistance

Two stolen cars full of teens collided early Tuesday in northwest Detroit during a police chase that left a 14-year-old dead and another teen hospitalized. Questions are swirling as to whether two 8th (Northwest) Precinct officers followed protocol after the crash. Witnesses say the officers failed to stop to render assistance afterward. What happened after the crash  remains under investigation. The officers initially told investigators that they stopped to render assistance and left the scene when another scout car showed up to relieve them, police said. But the officers caught two 14-year-old Detroiters in the stolen Stratus after it crashed into a guardrail at Margareta and Inkster in Redford Township. The two teens tried to  run away and were caught after one suspect was pepper-sprayed, police said. The driver of that stolen car confessed and told police that the officers never stopped chasing them, police said. Those teens were in custody Tuesday facing charges of auto theft, unlawful driving and fleeing and eluding  police. [more ]
