A man died after an officer-involved crash on the 3100 block of 4th Avenue late last month.
George Walker, 73, died days after the car he was driving collided with police officers who were responding to another car crash.
On Nov. 28 at around 10:02 p.m., Chattanooga police were on their way to a car fire with people possibly trapped inside.
Police had their emergency lights and sirens on at the time and were traveling south on 4th Avenue, approaching East 31st Street. Walker was traveling eastbound on East 31st Street, driving a 2005 Saturn Ion with one passenger.
Walker continued to drive through the 4th Avenue intersection without coming to a stop, failing to yield to both police and the posted stop sign. That is where Walker's car and the patrol car collided.
Both police officers who were in the patrol car were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries; however, Walker and the passenger in his car refused medical treatment at that time.
Two weeks later, on Dec. 14, Chattanooga police were notified by the Hamilton County Medical Examiner's office that Walker had gone to the hospital two days after the collision and died at a later date.
The Chattanooga Police Traffic Unit is still investigating the collision.
