How they died

Pursuit

A deputy tried to pull over a person driving an Impala 42 mph in a 30 mph zone. Gregory Tobias never stopped, speeding off to I-10 where he started to go the wrong way. He hit speeds of 103 mph as he went westbound in the eastbound lanes. The deputy pursued him as he led them on a chase that lasted about 30 minutes. The chase ended when Tobias crashed into one of the extra barriers in place due to construction near the East Freeway and Magnolia Street, causing his other to burst into flames.
