Four people were killed in a chase crash Friday that left mangled cars and debris scattered at an Upland intersection.
A Ford Mustang at the scene near the intersection of 16th Street and Mountain Avenue sustained significant front-end damage. A heavily damaged Hyundai that was split into several pieces ended up in a grassy embankment next to the road.
The chase began around 2 a.m., when an officer in Rancho Cucamonga attempted to pull over the Hyundai driver for possible DUI. The driver did not stop, the sheriff’s department said. The chase entered Upland, where the 2018 Hyundai was traveling west on 16th Street when it collided with a Ford Mustang that was heading north on Mountain Avenue.
The Hyundai collided with a traffic light pole and broke apart.
“The suspect vehicle ended up in three separate parts and four occupants died at the scene,” said Gloria Huerta, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
A juvenile, possibly as young as 13, was ejected from the Hyundai, which had been reported stolen in Fontana, authorities said. The boy was hospitalized, but details about his injuries were not immediately available.
Two people traveling in the Mustang were also hospitalized.
