RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. – A person who was at the center of a car chase that ended in a car crash, which then turned into a tense SWAT standoff in Riverside County, has died.
SkyFOX was over the scene as the suspect led the Riverside County Sheriff's Office on a chase on Wednesday, April 8.
The chase, stemming from the driver refusing to pull over, ended with the white Cadillac sedan smashing into a wall in a residential area. The crash happened right after a deputy used a grappler as a way to get the suspect to stop.
The standoff lasted more than two hours after the crash happened around 3:30 p.m. The SWAT team deployed smoke into the suspect's car before smashing the windows and doors open to pull the driver out.
