Wichita musician Jenny Wood has filed a lawsuit against the city government, claiming a police officer’s bad decisions in a high-speed chase caused a deadly crash that killed two of Wood’s family members and left her with severe disabilities. The lawsuit stems from a pursuit that ended when the fleeing driver of a stolen BMW sport-utility vehicle T-boned the Wood family’s car at the corner of Broadway and Douglas on May 5, 2019. Wood’s mother, Maria, and her 12-year-old niece Rosemary “Rosie” McElroy died from injuries sustained in the crash. Jenny Wood was critically injured and barely survived, but with permanent disabilities, the lawsuit says.
