UPDATE: Rochester police have released new details about what sounded like a real-life version of Grand Theft Auto that ended in the death of an elderly man.
92-year-old Thomas Chase was killed when a stolen car crashed into his near Elmwood Avenue in Brighton.
Police Chief David Smith says Chase was a beloved volunteer in the community.
The 17-year-old driver who hit him is on parole for burglary, in a string of smash-and-grab break-ins.
Officers checking on a report of gunfire yesterday spotted a teen driving away in a stolen car.
The car crashed, there was a foot chase, and the teen and two others got into a second stolen car and drove off, nearly running down an officer.
As they were pursued into Brighton, the teen driver crashed into a turning car near Elmwood Avenue, killing Chase.
The teens remain in the hospital.
There's no word yet on the charges against them.
Original story:
A man has been killed in a crash following a stolen car chase in Brighton.
Police say a 13-year-old crashed one stolen car on Moriah Street.
He then jumped into another stolen car with two teens, and that car led a chase into Brighton, before plowing into a car turning left near East, Elmwood, and Linden avenues.
A man in the other car was killed.
The three teens in the stolen car are in the hospital, but all are expected to survive.
“Thomas Chase was killed when a stolen car crashed into his”
Wrong pronoun.
Sloppy journalism strikes again.
No photos of the minor career criminals. It was probably them again.
Two teens ... hmmm ...let me guess ... probably not white or that would have been pointed out in the article.
You would be correct #noneedtolook
” a stolen car crashed into his near Elmwood Avenue in Brighton.”
I just hate it when someone crashes into my “near”.
“The 17-year-old driver who hit him is on parole for burglary, in a string of smash-and-grab break-ins.”
THERE IS ZERO NEED FOR PAROLE!
DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME!
Let me guess.... sons of Obama?
***The three teens in the stolen car are in the hospital, but all are expected to survive.***
Be ashamed if some nurse or orderly tripped and accidentally pulled their plugs.
