Georgia State Patrol High Speed Chase of Jeep Grand Cherokee in Atlanta | Trooper Sends Jeep Flying

On 9/30/2022 at approximately 0052 hours, I observed a white Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep was getting on from Cleveland Avenue to I-85 North. The Jeep was traveling at a high rate of speed. The Jeep continued to accelerate to a high rate of speed and changed lanes with no turn signal. I got behind the vehicle and estimated its speed at over 90 MPH in a 55 MPH Zone. I activated my lights and siren where I paced the jeep at 94 MPH. The Jeep sped up and crossed over a painted gore area and fled. The Jeep fled at speed over 100 MPH failed to maintain his lane and made unsafe lane changes. When approaching the Ralph David Abernathy exit ramp, the driver of the Jeep swerved across multiple lanes. The Jeep entered the paint gore area and ran off the road. The driver of the Jeep nearly crashed but was able to reenter I-75/85 North. The driver continued to flee at high speeds, failing to maintain his lane, nearly crashing into other vehicle. The driver drove with no regard for any traffic laws or the safety of the public. The driver exited onto Edgewood Avenue and one passenger exited the Jeep. Trooper K. Kammeraad #896 and Sargent S. Tarpley #943 joined the pursuit. The passenger was apprehended by Trooper G. Brown #713. The driver of the Jeep accelerated to high speed and reentered I-75/85 South. At this point, the driver had placed the general public, himself, his passengers, and me at risk of receiving serious injuries by traveling at speeds in excess of 100 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, failing to maintain his lane, failing to obey any traffic control devices/signals, and fleeing from Law Enforcement. The suspect showed no regard for the motoring public, any state laws, law enforcement, or himself. To preserve life and public safety, I felt the pursuit needed to be terminated immediately. I felt that the use of stop sticks was too dangerous, and at the time there were not any known law enforcement officers ahead of the pursuit. Due to the reckless and erratic driving, I thought it was too dangerous to attempt a box-in maneuver. In order to safeguard life and preserve public safety, I decided I would use the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT), if I got a opportunity. The driver swerved across multiple lanes and exited onto I-20 East. I had to slow down, at this point Trooper K. Kammeraad #896 and Sargent S. Tarpley #943 took the primary and secondary position in the pursuit. Sargent S. Tarpley #943 used the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) and made contact with the Jeep. The Jeep went off the right side of the road and crashed. Upon arriving at the crash scene, I observed the Jeep overturned and on fire. I got a fire extinguisher and put the fire out. I could hear other troopers on scene saying they had located two suspects. I went to the area where I observed two males that were unresponsive. I went to my patrol car and got gloves while other Troopers retrieved torniquets. I applied one torniquet to the leg of one suspect. Sgt. Tarpley #943 began CPR to the same suspect when he stopped beathing. I located a broken and bloody AR-15 rifle (22011617) near the suspects. The rifle was turned over to Trooper E. Beaulieu #105. The deceased suspects were positivity identified as Broadrick Dunn and Amarion Clotter, by their fingerprints. The suspect that exited the Jeep on Edgewood Avenue was identified as Montavious Lovejoy. Lovejoy was transported to Grady Hospital by Grady EMS due to a gunshot wound he had prior to the pursuit. Both Clotter and Dunn were released to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office. The Jeep was turned over to A-towing Service. This incident was audio and video recorded
