Officer Alexis Acosta was responding to an emergency call while in a marked police cruiser with activated lights and sirens when he struck a man in the intersection of East Biddle Street and North Milton Avenue around 12:40 p.m., on Tuesday, June 21, say Baltimore police.

In the video, Officer Acosta is heard frantically repeating "I got into a crash send an ambulance immediately" after the impact. 

Terry Harrell, 58, was thrown from the scooter when he was struck by the police cruiser, and officers provided aid until medical personnel rushed the victim to the hospital.

Harrell succumbed to his injuries on June 23, according to police.

The footage may be disturbing to some viewers. 

The Independent Investigations Division, with the assistance of the Baltimore Police C.R.A.S.H. Team, continues to investigate the circumstances of the fatal crash.
