There is little doubt that a tragedy occurred on October 7, 2024. There’s no denying that driver Tyrone Mason and two North Carolina state troopers committed terrible mistakes. However, Mason is no longer alive, and his bereaved family claims that the police officers who killed him have yet to face justice.
Tyrone Mason’s mistake
Tyrone Mason, 31, drove down Capital Boulevard in Raleigh, North Carolina, early on October 7th. He was going more than 70 mph in a 40 mph zone. His BAC was 0.11.
North Carolina state trooper Garrett Macario pursued him after he passed his patrol cruiser. Mason probably noticed Macario’s lights and heard his sirens. But instead of pulling over, he accelerated. In less than a minute, Mason had reached 100 mph. At this point, Macario turned off his lights and sirens and slowed.
Then Macario caught up with Mason again after he lost control and crashed his automobile. Macario drove off the divided road and across the grass, attempting to make a quick U-turn. He returned to the crash site and promptly radioed for an ambulance. Then he got out of his car and did something different.
Garret Macario’s mistake
Macario also radioed Trooper Matthew Morrison. Morrison advised against mentioning your attempts to stop him. Simply say, ‘Hey, guy, I drove up on this,’ and leave it at that…
