Media summary: Sgt. Jason Groulx and Rookie officer Owen David Fisher got involved in a high-speed chase that began after police approached a 19-year-old in a parked vehicle over an open container. The driver fled and a pursuit ensued, crossing through three jurisdictions. Another police cruiser driven by officer Ronnie Summers broadsided Grouix and Fisher's patrol car at a Burton intersection. The impact pushed the cars into a nearby house. Owens, the passenger, died. Groulx, Summers and Summers' passenger were seriously injured. Police arrested the fleeing driver a short time later. The driver was convicted and sentenced to serve 3-15 years. In February 2006, officer Ronnie Summers was fired for violating the department's chase policy. Summers appears in later documents as an active Flint officer, so the effort to overturn his termination seems to have been effective.
