On 05/29/2026, members of the New York State Police Community Stabilization Unit attempted to stop a 2009 Ford Fusion for traffic violations near Hudson Avenue and Avenue D in Rochester. Tyson D. Thomas continued driving and troopers escalated a pursuit through city streets.

His vehicle sideswiped a GMC Acadia, crossed into oncoming traffic, and collided head on with a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Ford Fusion immediately became engulfed in flames. Troopers attempted to extinguish the fire and reach Thomas but were unable to do so because of the intensity of the flames.
