Todd Perchert, seriously injured in a T-bone crash caused by Albuquerque’s police chief, recounts his life-changing experience. Perchert was cruising in his vintage Mustang when Chief Harold Medina’s unmarked police truck slammed into him at an intersection. Perchert suffered severe injuries, including a broken collarbone, shoulder blade, eight ribs, and a collapsed lung, requiring extensive surgery.
The crash totaled his cherished family heirloom. Perchert’s wife, Danielle, demands accountability from the city, criticizing the APD’s response and Mayor’s praise of Medina’s actions. They plan to file a lawsuit seeking compensation and answers regarding Medina’s conduct and the investigation’s handling. Despite surgeries, Perchert faces a painful, uncertain future, impacting their once-active lifestyle. The APD continues an internal investigation into the incident, focusing on policy adherence and potential disciplinary actions.
