LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â The family of a teenager hit by a police cruiser March 30 opened up a city council meeting Thursday night by pleading for answers. We don t want to place blame on anybody, said Elizabeth Long. We just want to figure out what happened because a response to a mental health crisis should never lead to injuries like those that Liam sustained.
