A Mississippi cop who killed three people in a crash while chasing a suspect has been suspended without pay, officials said.

Aldermen in Byhalia, Mississippi, voted on Wednesday to suspend William Langham, WHBQ-TV reported, after he chased an SUV beyond the city limits on Jan. 4. The fleeing SUV crashed into a pickup truck. Killed were 30-year-old SUV driver Jaqua Bluiett, 43-year-old pickup truck driver Angela Davis, and 63-year-old pickup truck passenger Michael Crutcher. A second passenger in the truck was injured.
