Woman loses suit over crash with federal agent

SOUTHGATE (AP) -- A federal agent has been cleared in a lawsuit over a crash that occurred while he was driving to a Detroit-area police shooting. William Temple's Ford Flex collided with Lynae Neal's Lincoln Town Car in 2010 in Southgate. Temple's unmarked car had a siren and flashing lights. He stopped at a red light, looked for traffic and hit the gas. Neal says she heard a siren, didn't see the agent's car and continued east through the intersection. A Detroit federal judge says the agent used due care and was responding to an emergency, even if a Taylor police officer had been shot more than two hours earlier. The 51-year-old Neal says she suffered head and back injuries because of the crash. She was ticketed. Published: Thu, Jun 6, 2013
