A police chase through four Iowa counties on Friday afternoon ended in a crash in Cedar Rapids that killed two people.
The State Patrol says 36-year-old Garrett Sager of Grand Island, Nebraska, fled from Marshall County officers, he shot at officers during the chase on Highway 30 and a bullet hit a police cruiser. Officers tried several times to disable Sager’s car.
During the final manuever, Sager’s car was going the wrong way in the westbound lanes of Highway 30 and it crashed head on into a sedan being driven by 16-year-old Kayan Williams of Cedar Rapids. Both drivers were killed.
The teenager is the son of the middle school principal in the Clarion Goldfield Dows School District. The superintendent of the district posted a letter on Facebook extending sympathy and support to the family.
