Fatal collision during Glendale chase involving suspected stolen vehicle
A man tragically passed away on Tuesday night following a brief chase with law enforcement in Glendale, as confirmed by authorities. The Glendale Police Department shared that the incident began when officers tried to pull over a suspected stolen vehicle near Acacia Avenue and Chevy Chase Drive around 11:15 p.m. The driver failed to comply with the stop and a pursuit ensued.
