In the case of Donahue v. Borough of Collingdale, No. 22-1695 (E.D. Pa. Aug. 19, 2022 Baylson, J.), the District Court denied Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss in a civil rights claim against police officers who engage in a high speed chase that resulted in a fatal collision. The Plaintiffs also sued the municipality.
The court ruled that, while the Plaintiffs had a heavy burden of proof, the allegations in their Complaint were sufficient to allege a cause of action under a state-created danger theory and other theories of liability.
