Walla Walla County deputies escalated a chase until the driver crashed into a power pole and died. The Sheriff’s Department did not say why they chased the man, merely stated they tried to arrest him. Washington State originally in April of 2021 prohibited almost all police pursuits. This was fought by the GOP and police unions and in 2023, the Washington State Legislature passed and governor Jay Inslee signed a reversal of many of the pursuit restrictions, allowing pursuits in certain cases. Police have not yet disclosed why they initiated this pursuit. All new information will be posted here when it becomes available.

Age :

Gender :Male

Race : Unknown

Date : 10/23/2023

Location : 62nd Ave SE

City : Nisqually

County : Thurston

State : Washington

Agency : Thurston County SO

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of death : Vehicle

Event : Passenger killed by police chase crash

Disposition : No Known charges

Open records summary :

Thurston County deputies came upon a group of people doing donuts in the street. When police arrived, a car fled and police escalated a high-speed chase. Police “called off the chase” and the fleeing vehicle crashed shortly thereafter, killing the passenger, a man in his 20s who was not publicly identified. Police stressed that at the moment of impact, they were no longer chasing the vehicle, with calling off a chase when a driver is losing control and a major crash is imminent being a common police tactic to evade the responsibility of an “in-custody” death since all events during a chase are legally considered as happening in custody already.
