June 2007
Crustal Legrand was out on a walk with her boyfriend and three young young children, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Their night was shattered as an out-of-control police cruiser hurdled toward them. Crystal grabbed her two youngest children and took cover behind a wall. Her boyfriend snatched up the oldest son, 4-year-old Daviay, and made an attempt to dart for safety as well. They didn’t make it.

The patrol car struck the pair, shattering the boyfriends legs and killing little Daviay Legrand. Crystal and her two youngest escaped injury. Authorities were investigating the accident. Angry residents of the town later gathered at the scene, hurling obscenities and throwing bottles and rocks at the police.
