The driver was identified as Martel Kyles, who was wanted for simple assault by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and known for violent tendencies. Police escalated a high-speed chase across multiple jurisdictions. He drove eastbound on I-20 and exited at Exit 195, proceeding onto Wheeler Road, then Belair Frontage Road.
Police report that he began losing control, entering oncoming lanes and continued. Yet despite this, police continued to chase him onto Park West Drive, Old Wheeler Road, and Wrightsboro Road at speeds above 100 miles an hour. Police deployed stop sticks at Wrightsboro Road and Hagin Road, puncturing the driver-side tires. A PIT maneuver was attempted but traffic conditions prevented it.

On August 23, 2025, around 2:30 a.m., Everett Police attempted to conduct an alleged DUI stop but the driver refused to yield and fled, prompting a pursuit by Washington State Patrol troopers, which was later taken over by Everett Police Department. The chase continued until the pursued vehicle crashed into a commercial building, resulting in the driver’s death and a passenger sustaining injuries. Under Washington law (RCW 10.116.060), police may engage in a vehicular pursuit only when there is reasonable suspicion the driver violated the law, the pursuit is necessary, and the driver poses a greater safety risk if not apprehended, all requiring supervisory notification and oversight. It remains unclear whether these conditions were met or adhered to in this case.

On August 23, 2025, Erasmo Huerta Gonzalez, 38, was fatally struck by an NYPD cruiser in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on United Nations Avenue South. Witnesses said the officer behind the wheel was distracted, talking with another officer in the passenger seat, and not looking at the road. The vehicle rolled over Gonzalez with its front wheels, and bystanders heard the sound of bones breaking. Despite attempts to alert the officers, they did not stop immediately. A supervising officer nearby failed to intervene. It took paramedics about 20 minutes to extract Gonzalez from beneath the vehicle, during which his legs remained visible. He was transported to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital and pronounced dead. Gonzalez’s family was not notified until four days later and expressed anger at the lack of communication from NYPD, saying it felt like his life was not valued. The incident occurred during increased police traffic for the U.S. Open in an area of the park normally closed to cars. The New York State Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation, while the NYPD has declined to comment on witness accounts.
