Wourms v. Fields

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant police officer’s motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendant violated plaintiff’s 4th Amendment rights by using excessive force to cause plaintiff’s car to stop, when he intentionally collided with plaintiff’s car during high speed car chase and caused plaintiff’s death when plaintiff’s car crashed after said collision. Expert testimony established that no reasonable jury could conclude that defendant’s police car had actually collided with plaintiff’s vehicle.
