How they died
Vehic/Purs
Passenger Karla Robledo and driver Alexis Medina died after their SUV crashed during a high-speed chase. According to police, a Roeland Park police officer responded to a report of a suspicious other driving around the Walmart parking lot at 3 a.m. while the store was closed. When the officer approached, the 2002 Ford Explorer reportedly sped off. Police said the officer followed the SUV at a distance down Roe Lane to an I-35 overpass. Medina lost control of the SUV, hit a pole, spun around, hit a second pole, and continued spinning. All seven teens inside were ejected as the SUV burst into flames. Robledo and Medina were killed. The 5 other teens were taken to area hospitals.
