HAMTRAMCK (WWJ) — Police are investigating after a deadly crash in Detroit Thursday afternoon that reportedly happened during a police chase.
Hamtramck police have not confirmed any details surrounding the incident to WWJ Newsradio 950, but multiple reports say it all started during a traffic stop in Hamtramck and ended with an innocent driver dead.
During the stop, two women allegedly assaulted police officers and took off speeding down Conant, according to Fox 2 in Detroit.
A short time later, the suspects’ vehicle slammed into a car waiting in the turn lane near the intersection of Conant and McNichols, according to the report. A person inside that car was killed.
The two women tried to run from the scene but were taken into custody a short time later.
The report says the officers were injured as a result of the alleged assault.
No other details have been released. A Hamtramck police spokesperson told WWJ’s Darrylin Horne more information is expected to be released on Friday.
