Documents show trooper Don Crozier had history of wrecks prior to fatal crash

Records show that the trooper involved in a crash that killed the wife of the Atlanta Braves' head trainer had been involved in four previous wrecks.

On Friday, the Georgia State Patrol announced that Trooper Don Crozier had been fired because of the crash that killed Kathy Porter.

Channel 2's Tony Thomas obtained the investigative reports from the crash and the file on Crozier.

The 325 pages of reports detailed the trooper's history of accidents, including one that sounds similar to last weekend's.

Audio recordings from police dispatch on New Year's Eve showed Crozier was on the way to a call when the incident happened.

"I'm trying to catch up to a motorcycle," one can hear Crozier say.

Then, shortly after, he's heard saying, "Atlanta… I've been in a 10-50. Memorial and Capitol Avenue."

Crozier was trying to catch up with that chase when witnesses said he flew through the intersection of Memorial and Capitol, running a red light, and crashed into a vehicle being driven by Braves head trainer Jeff Porter.

Porter's wife, Kathy, was killed in the wreck.
