Police pursued at speeds up to 120 miles per hour before a supervisor told the officer to call off the chase. Reportedly, 10 seconds later, one of the cars careened off the road, and two people inside were both thrown from it. Dahian Pena was killed, while an 18-year-old passenger was seriously injured.
