LANETT, Ala. (AP) —
A Georgia sheriff’s deputy was killed Thursday morning after being stuck by another law enforcement vehicle during a police chase that crossed into Alabama.
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office said Deputy Sheriff Eric Minix was killed in the crash after the pursuit by Georgia law enforcement of a stolen vehicle continued into Alabama.
The sheriff’s office wrote in a social media post that, “during the apprehension of the suspect Eric was struck by a police car and was pronounced dead at an area hospital.”
“We have lost a good deputy. We have lost a good man. We have lost a good friend,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
WRBL-TV reported that the crash occurred on Interstate 85 in Chambers County, which is on the Georgia-Alabama border.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is investigating the crash. A spokesman said they are working to gather additional information to release.
Minix, who was also a K-9 officer, is survived by a wife and three daughters.
