Family of David Pollard holding press conference Tuesday

The family of David Pollard, the Carver High baseball coach killed in an automobile crash in April, will hold a press conference Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Macon Road Library to discuss a possible lawsuit against the city, according to attorney Katonga Wright.

Pollard, 36, was at the intersection of Buena Vista and Andrew Roads on April 18 when a stolen Audi went through a red light at the intersection and struck Pollard’s Chevrolet sedan, which then hit another vehicle.

In April, Wright filed a claim against the city, seeking $1 million in damages.

After the fatal crash, police were investigating whether police had been pursuing the stolen Audi before the wreck at the intersection.

William C. Cross of Columbus was arrested May 2 at the Value Place hotel at 1801 Victory Drive. He faces one count each of homicide by vehicle, felony murder and theft by taking auto in connection the wreck, according to a report from Corp. Rosalyn Hall of the Columbus Police Department’s Hit-and-Run Investigation Division.
