Summary: |
Police Officer Keith Crenshaw was killed when he was struck by a subject vehicle that swerved to avoid the spike strip that Officer Crenshaw had deployed. Three subjects in the vehicle were wanted in connection with multiple attempted robberies earlier in the morning and led officers on a high speed chase across three counties.
Law officers first caught up with the suspects in the Grady community of Webster County near Winona. They’d apparently left Grenada, headed back toward Eupora.
Crenshaw and other officers rushed to block off the exit at about 10 a.m. with patrol cars, planning to stop the suspects’ car with spike strips on the road before the driver could attempt to turn. Crenshaw was the officer who laid down the spike strips, then moved left toward the grassy median as the suspect vehicle approached.
The suspects made a last-minute effort to avoid the spikes and swerved left. They were moving very fast. Their car hit light poles and Officer Crenshaw in the median before coming to rest. A passenger was ejected and died on the scene. A second was taken to the hospital and a third was taken to jail.
