How they died
Pursuit
Thomas Kimble was killed after he was struck while seated at a bus stop by a 17-year-old motorcyclist fleeing the CHP. According to the CHP, an officer was writing reports in a Target parking lot when he saw a 2007 Kawasaki motorcycle speeding down Madison Avenue at about 7:40 p.m. The motorcycle allegedly sped away after the officer tried to stop him. A Sacramento County sheriff's deputy was in the left turn lane and was beginning to turn on a green light when the motorcyclist reportedly ran the red light. The motorcycle struck the the patrol other, then slid for approximately 200+ feet before crashing into the bus stop bench, killing Kimble. The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike and landed in a driveway approximately 250 feet away, sustaining serious injuries.
