Cause of Death
Pursuit
Around 11:15 a.m., two officers came across an unoccupied Toyota Camry parked in a stall at Regency Square Apartments. The car had been reported stolen out of San Jose and had a license plate reported stolen out of Fremont. The officers waited to see who would get into the car. When Melissa Diamond got in, officers tried to block the car in with an unmarked other. She reportedly used the Toyota to ram that police other and another one, before creating enough space to drive away. After driving through a metal gate, Diamond fled at high speed, and crossed the Interstate 880 overpass. Moments later, she struck two vehicles. Diamond was killed.
