The crash sent New's vehicle through a block wall and into the parking lot on the southeast corner of the intersection.
“We just don’t know what to do yet," Officer Ginarro New’s cousin, Samantha Scott, said. "He was only 27 years old. He was perfect in every way.”
Officer New had served with the department at the Black Mountain precinct since July 2019, Chief Williams said.
