A pursuit ended in a deadly crash after a motorist decided to flee a traffic stop in Anaheim early Friday morning.
The incident began just after midnight when Anaheim police officers attempted to stop a white pickup truck.
The driver fled the scene as officers approached and got on the 91 Freeway, prompting a pursuit, Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Sutter confirmed.
The suspect exited on State College Boulevard and then lost control of the vehicle, crashing into a tree in front of the Arbor Park apartment community on the 1200 block of State College Boulevard.
The driver was initially trapped inside the vehicle but was eventually transported from the scene with minor injuries.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene but it was unclear if it was a passenger in the truck or a person struck at the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
State College Boulevard was expected to be closed in the area until at least 8 a.m. for the investigation, Sutter said.
