One person was killed in a multi-vehicle crash following a pursuit that ended in La Palma on Wednesday, according to the Fullerton Police Department.
The crash was reported sometime around 1 p.m. after two people accused of being involved in a theft at an Albertsons store in Fullerton instigated a chase. Amid the pursuit, the suspects struck another vehicle and continued to flee.
At some point, police lost the suspect vehicle as it entered the 91 Freeway, then found it minutes later traveling on surface streets in La Palma. Law enforcement then restarted the pursuit.
The suspects then crashed, involving three other vehicles at the intersection of La Palma Avenue and Moody Street. One person who was in one of the other vehicles was killed in the crash, according to Fullerton police.
