Also in the vehicle was an adult male passenger. His injuries were not life-threatening. Police said officers helped him get out of the upside-down vehicle via the driver side window.

The incident began on Jan. 25 around 1 a.m. when patrol officers in the area of Wyandotte Street East at Rholaine Drive noticed a speeding blue Cadillac.

The car was eastbound on Wyandotte Street East and approaching the intersection at Riverdale Avenue — just before the bridge over Little River — when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
