1Opinion of the Court
BOGGS, Circuit Judge.
This action arose out of a highspeed car chase in which plaintiffs husband, Audie Gaston Jones, was killed. Two police officers of White House, Tennessee, were attempting to apprehend Charles Sherrill, a traffic offender, when Sherrill’s car crossed the center line of the highway and collided with Jones’s car. Sherrill had been furloughed that day from the Nashville and Davidson County Metropolitan Jail. Janice Jones brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Sherrill and a host of officials and agencies involved in the furlough and chase. 1
