Summary: |
Officer Christopher Ewing was killed when his patrol car collided with a drunk driver at the intersection of South Cobb Drive and Oak Drive at about 11:00 pm.
The collision occurred when the other driver turned left in front of Officer Ewing's patrol car. The drunk driver was arrested and charged with homicide by vehicle, driving under the influence, and tampering with evidence.
=====================================================================
Late Monday, Ewing was on duty when he encountered a suspected drunk driver. Ewing's blue lights and siren were on, but the driver of a Chevrolet Tahoe failed to yield, striking the patrol car.
Ewing was southbound on South Cobb drive and the driver of the Tahoe was northbound. When Cox attempted to make a left, he turned into the path of Ewing.
The impact of the collision sent the mangled cruiser into the parking lot of a gas station at the intersection of South Cobb and Oak drives around 11:20 p.m. A gas station employee heard the crash and called 911. A woman said others in the parking lot rushed to try to free the officer, but were unsuccessful.

Disposition: |
Cox was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of driving under the influence and homicide by vehicle in the first degree, both felonies. He is also facing a host of misdemeanor traffic charges, including tampering with evidence, open container violation, failure to yield and not wearing a seat belt. |
