Driver fleeing cops in stolen vehicle crashes and kills woman, Missouri police say
A stolen vehicle carrying five people crashed into another car, killing that driver, as the vehicle sped through Missouri streets to evade police, authorities said.
Earlier that evening, the group armed with guns stole a woman’s Nissan in St. Louis, police said in an April 13 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The St. Louis Police Department’s Real-Time Crime Center tracked the location of the stolen vehicle in 20 minutes, and an officer spotted it, police said.
The carjacked Nissan was seen driving “dangerously” as the officer attempted to stop it, police said. The accused robbers sped away, then crashed into a woman’s Hyundai, police said.
The driver of the Hyundai died from the crash.
The five people in the stolen vehicle, including a 16-year-old and two 15-year-olds, were taken into custody, according to police and KSDK.
Police did not disclose the identity of the victim or those arrested.
