GSP: Trejon Anthony killed in Savannah police chase accident

SAVANNAH, GA, (April 23, 2026) – A 19-year-old Chicago man was killed Thursday night in a crash involving a fleeing vehicle in Savannah, authorities confirmed.

According to officials, Chatham County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to stop a black Chevrolet Trailblazer at approximately 9:54 p.m., but the driver fled westbound on Capital Street. The vehicle then ran a red light at Pennsylvania Avenue and struck the driver’s side of a Nissan Juke.

Trejon Anthony, a passenger in the Nissan Juke, was ejected during the collision and pronounced dead at the scene. The rideshare driver was also killed in the crash.

Authorities detained the Trailblazer’s driver and two passengers. The 37-year-old driver faces multiple charges, including two counts of murder, two counts of homicide by vehicle, DUI, fleeing police, driving on a suspended license, reckless driving, and other offenses. One passenger is also being held for extradition.

The Georgia State Patrol is leading the crash reconstruction, while the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a parallel investigation.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

Accidents tied to police pursuits continue to pose serious public safety concerns. These high-speed incidents often unfold rapidly and unpredictably, putting bystanders, passengers, and even the fleeing driver at significant risk within moments.

Crashes frequently happen at intersections or along major roadways where other drivers have little time to respond. Many law enforcement agencies have strengthened pursuit policies, improved training, and adopted alternative tactics to reduce deadly outcomes, but the danger persists when suspects attempt to evade officers.

“It is essential to determine the exact cause of these types of crashes. An attorney has the resources to evaluate insurance coverage, engage expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses. We guide the victim’s family through each step of the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

She added that in such cases, an independent investigation is vital to preserve critical evidence.

“In addition to reviewing the police report, an attorney will analyze all contributing factors,” Bond said. “Legal counsel can hire experts, examine driver histories, identify witnesses, and assess insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide victims or their families through what can be a complex process.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Trejon Anthony may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families of victims in such tragic incidents may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“The grief and emotional hardship after losing a loved one in an accident can be overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand the difficulties families face, and protecting their rights is essential. A wrongful death attorney will closely follow the official investigation and help ensure that the family’s legal rights and best interests are protected,” Formica added.
