WICHITA — Wichita musician Jenny Wood is suing the city over a police chase last year that killed two of her family members and left Wood with permanent injuries.
The car being pursued by a Wichita police officer in May 2019 hit the Wood family’s car, killing her mother and niece. Wood has permanent disabilities because of the crash.
The lawsuit contends the officer who started the chase was not properly trained. The chase ran through downtown Wichita at speeds up to 75 mph before the collision with the Woods’ car.
City spokesman Jim Jonas declined to comment on the lawsuit.
