According to news media, Officer Scott York was responding to another pedestrian accident when he lost control of his other, jumped the curb and plowed into Coreas and 18-year-old Joel Mejia. York, who has since been fired from the department, is recovering from injuries. While York did have his lights and sirens on as he responded to the other incident, black box data from inside the patrol car said he York was traveling close to 100 miles per hour. In his termination letter, he was told he should have been going the speed limit.
