A law enforcement official told the Washington Post that this was not the 25-year-old man's only injury, and that his wounds were consistent with those generally seen in car crashes.

Multiple police sources told WJLA that the head wound corresponds with a bolt in the back of the vehicle, and that the impact broke Gray's neck.

The witness speaks out

Quote:
The Washington Post reported that the prisoner, who could not see Gray because they were separated by a metal partition, thought that the young man "was intentionally trying to injure himself" by "banging against the walls."

The D.C. paper found this account in an application for a search warrant that had been sealed by the court. Authorities were reportedly seeking the uniform one of the arresting officers wore the day of Gray's arrest.

But Donta Allen, who identified himself as the man in the van with Gray, told WJZ-TV that the report is inaccurate and that he just heard "a little banging."

"And they trying to make it seem like I told them that, I made it like Freddie Gray did that to hisself [sic]," Allen said to the station. "Why the f--- would he do that to hisself [sic]?"

Police revealed that the van made a stop on the way to the station that was not appropriately logged. Gray died in a hospital one week later
Arresting officer mental state

Quote:
A report from the Carroll County, Md., Sheriff's Office, obtained by The Associated Press, indicates that one of the officers suspended following Gray's death has had his mental stability called into question.

Lt. Brian Rice, the officer who initially pursued Gray, had been hospitalized in April 2012 over mental health concerns; at the time, he reportedly said he "could not continue to go on like this" and threatened to commit an act that was censored from the public version of the report.
