On April 29, 2019 at approximately 4:19pm Ptl Zach Bell was stationary at the intersection of Phillips Ave and Ocean Ave. Ptl Bell observed a black Volkswagen Jetta traveling Northbound on Ocean Ave at a high rate of speed. As Ptl Bell was preparing to conduct a motor vehicle stop of the accused vehicle, it crashed into the driver’s side rear bumper of a 4 door Jeep Wrangler.

No other injuries occurred during the crash.
