Police say the driver of a car being chased by state troopers was killed and four others were hurt when he crashed into another vehicle while exiting Interstate 376 in Oakland early Wednesday morning

The man who died has been identified as Richard Giles Jr., 20, of Braddock.

The state police patrol the interstate, even in the city, and they stopped the inbound vehicle near the Squirrel Hill Tunnel at about 2:30 a.m. after seeing a traffic violation in a construction zone.

"The trooper detected a strong odor of marijuana inside the vehicle, attempted to identify the occupants and the driver fled the scene," Trooper Matthew Jardine said.

The trooper chased the vehicle along the Parkway East as the vehicle took the Oakland exit to Bates Street, Jardine said.

"At the end of the Bates Street exit, the driver failed to negotiate a turn and struck another vehicle head-on," he said.
