As they were patrolling, they overheard a Chatham County PD officer attempt to stop a car that fled from him. One trooper communicated with Officer R. Santoro, who later stated that, he attempted to perform traffic stop with a white Nissan Murano with the back window glass broken out, bearing a Georgia license plate on Canebrake Road. The Nissan fled into the drive of a private residence, drove through the back yard and around a house then re-entered back onto Canebrake and continued to flee eastbound towards GA-25. Cadet C. Nusall and another trooper located the Nissan traveling northbound on GA-25 before entering onto GA-204 eastbound. Troopers activated their emergency blue lights and siren and caught up with the Nissan. Cadet Nusall advised the Troop F Communications Center that they were attempting to stop the same vehicle that just fled from Officer Santoro. Just as the Nissan fled from Officer Santoro, the Nissan disregarded emergency blue lights and siren and initiated a vehicle pursuit with troopers. The Nissan continued to flee eastbound on GA-204. When the Nissan approached Sweet water Station Drive, the Nissan made a U-Turn and accelerated away, heading westbound on GA-204. As troopers continued to pursue the Nissan, they approached a small group of motorists.
The Nissan Murano, driving recklessly, attempted to pass the group and almost struck a Dodge Charger attempting to yield to the right. After passing the group of motorists, the Nissan continued to flee westbound on GA-204 heading towards I-95. Due to high foot traffic of GA-204 from the populated homeless camps as well as high motoring traffic from I-95. Considering that the troopers were quickly approaching the I-95 corridor creating an immediate concern for the safety of innocent bystanders. Also considering that it was not feasible to utilize stop sticks and that there were no other units available to execute the box in method to terminate the chase, one trooper instructed Cadet Nusall to utilize the P.I.T. Maneuver to terminate the pursuit. Cadet Nusall, matched the Nissan’s speed, touched, and turned into the vehicle to perform the P.I.T. Maneuver. The Nissan slipped off the push bumper, causing the driver to sway and lose control. The Nissan then struck the center median concrete barrier with its front end at an angle. Causing the Nissan to overturn several times. As the Nissan overturned, the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle. The driver of the Nissan came to a final uncontrolled rest in the left lane of GA-204 west.
The Nissan Murano came to a final uncontrolled rest on its roof, facing northeast in the left median of GA-204 west. Troopers advised the Troop F Communications Center of the crash and requested EMS and Fire personnel to assist medically with the driver. One trooper checked the driver, later identified as 49-year-old Aimee Youmans Padgett. After the crash, a trooper was able to check Youmans Padgett’s pulse and breathing at that time, Youmans Padgett did have a pulse and was breathing. Due to the serious nature of the crash and having serious visible injuries, troopers decided not to move Youmans Padgett from her position, to avoid the possibility of further injury to her in the event she sustained a spinal injury.
