The lawsuit accuses Granville of negligently, recklessly, and carelessly driving his county-owned vehicle before losing control and crashing into several parked cars on the night of April 11, 2024.
Five officers with the Buffalo Police Department were placed on administrative leave last month as the investigation continued into their actions responding to the crashes.
Days after the officers were placed on leave, Buffalo’s Police Commissioner, Al Wright, addressed the ongoing investigation into the incident. You can watch his remarks below.
