WICHITA, KS : 1 dead after stolen car crashes during chase in south Wichita on Tuesday, 1st December, 2020

Wichita police have identified the victim of Tuesday morning's fatal crash involving a stolen vehicle as 36-year-old Donald Tucker Jr.

The Wichita Police Department said at approximately 6:05 a.m., officers responded to a call of an auto theft in the 700 block of West Lockwood. Police say a 2016 red Chevrolet Cruze was stolen after it was left running in the driveway of a residence.

While a police report was being made, an officer located the vehicle near West 55th Street South and South West Street. WPD says officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but that Tucker refused and led officers on a vehicle pursuit that lasted less than a mile.

Tucker traveled north on South Meridian Avenue and collided with a 2016 white Toyota Corolla at the intersection of West McArthur Road as the Corolla was turning to travel east. Police say the Cruze then struck a utility pole and flipped multiple times, ejecting Tucker from the vehicle.

EMS responded to perform life-saving measures but were unsuccessful and Tucker was pronounced dead at the scene.
