SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Police killed the driver of a stolen car after a chase early Monday in Salem ended in a crash.
Officers spotted the car that had been reported stolen Sunday night, and the driver attempted to flee.
Police say the chase in downtown Salem around 1 a.m. lasted about three minutes at 30-to-50 mph. They say the driver ran several stop signs, crashed through a stop sign and into a parked car.
As officers approached the car, the department says the driver failed to comply, and his actions “placed officers at the scene in imminent danger.”
