The police dog was taken to the hospital and survived. Police chased Walker behind a hotel compound and shot and killed him.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Multiple law enforcement agencies hunted a vehicle from Marion, Arkansas into Hernando, Mississippi, ending in Crittenden County in a crash and fireball on the I-55 when the vehicle that had been hunted extensively lost control at high speed and crashed into a semi-truck head-on, killing the third-party driver of the truck. Two other motorists are severely injured.
This chase had begun as a domestic violence incident when a woman who had a no-contact order against a former partner was followed and rammed by his car on the road. She hit a concrete wall and survived but this triggered a multi-state manhunt and very long dangerous chase that ended in the death of an uninvolved truck driver who was on the road when the police chase crashed head-on into him.
