Less than a minute after the chase started, the Porsche reportedly ran a stop sign and crashed into the passenger side of the Toyota. Saephan died at a hospital. The driver of the truck was hospitalized in critical condition. The Porsche's driver, Gerardo Ulises Rodriguez, 27, was charged with reckless driving causing great bodily injury or death, evading police and hit and run.
