Pursuit
An officer tried to make a traffic stop of an allegedly stolen black Honda Accord around 5:35 a.m. The driver, who police said maintained legal speeds at first, did not pull over and led police on a pursuit through downtown Huntington Beach before accelerating to more than 100 miles per hour. The pursuit was reportedly aborted due to the high speed and reckless driving. The car crashed in Newport Beach and killed passenger Ramiro Benitez and seriously injured the driver.
