Woman Dies After Car Hit By Teen Fleeing Police
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities say a Sacramento-area woman has died after her car was hit by a 16-year-old driver who was trying to evade police.
The California Highway Patrol says 27-year-old Heather Michele Carr of Citrus Heights died in a hospital Wednesday after the collision in Carmichael Tuesday night.
CHP Officer Lizz Dutton told the Sacramento Bee that the teenage driver was driving an SUV when he hit a Saturn driven by Carr. Two others involved in the crash were treated for minor injuries.
Police say the 16-year-old was fleeing an officer who had tried to pull him over for driving twice the speed limit.
