A pursuit suspect was killed and his passenger injured when their vehicle crashed into a pole while fleeing from officers in Orange County Friday morning.

The chase continued into Fullerton, where the driver entered a park-and-ride commuter parking lot at 3000 W. Orangethorpe Ave. A short time later, the vehicle crashed into a concrete pole. Officers rendered aid and requested assistance from Fullerton Fire and Rescue personnel. “Despite life-saving efforts, the adult male driver was pronounced deceased at the scene,” police said.
