Police started to intercept car before fatal crash MARYSVILLE – A Snohomish County sheriff’s deputy tried to bump an 18-year-old Marysville-Pilchuk High School senior’s car to end a March 28 pursuit.It is not yet known whether that caused Randall Privasky's car to leave the road and smash into a tree, police said Friday. The teen died in the wreck. Privrasky apparently was speeding along Westwick Road near Snohomish when a deputy tried to pull him over, said Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz. The teen did not stop. Less than two miles and two minutes later, the deputy initiated a Pursuit Immobilization Technique or PIT maneuver, Goetz said. That's where a police car pushes a fleeing vehicle in an attempt to get it to spin out and stall. It’s not clear if the technique triggered the fatal crash, Goetz said. Investigators are waiting for toxicology results to determine if Privrasky might have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash, Goetz said. Collision investigators plan to return to the crash site to collect additional evidence to try to determine how fast the cars were going. They’ll also try to determine if the PIT maneuver caused Privrasky’s car to leave the road, he said. Memorial services for Privrasky are scheduled for noon Saturday at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home, 804 State Ave., Marysville. |
