On February 17, Albuquerque Police Department Chief Harold Medina was involved in a collision with Todd Perchert while driving an unmarked APD black truck. The incident occurred during a gunfire situation after Chief Medina had pulled over two men in a fight near Central Ave SE and Alvarado Dr NE. Perchert, driving a gold 1966 Ford Mustang, was struck on the driver’s side and subsequently had to be extricated from the vehicle by emergency crews. He suffered serious injuries including a broken collarbone, shoulder blade, eight broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. Perchert’s family plans to pursue legal action, and the Albuquerque Police Department is investigating the circumstances of the collision.
