Houston Police Sued By Family of Doctor Killed By Officer Speeding Without Lights or Siren

Houston, Texas

The family of a doctor killed in a wreck with a Houston Police Department cruiser has filed a lawsuit against the city.

In a statement released Thursday, the heirs of Dr. Estala Medrano said they are asking for unspecified damages relating to physical pain, mental anguish, medical expenses, and funeral expenses.

The crash occurred on Aug. 30 around 12:30 a.m. According to HPD, the officer involved in the crash was responding to an emergency when his cruiser slammed into the couple’s Scion.

Police said the officer was on a Code 2 response, which means it was a high priority call without any siren on or emergency lights flashing.
