Akron police report a Tuesday night crash involving a stolen Kia that claimed the life of an 18-year-old and left two other 18-year-old teens in the vehicle with serious injuries.
Akron Police Deputy Chief Brian Harding told News 5 officers spotted a stolen red Kia Forte traveling at a high rate of speed at Kelly Avenue and Tech Way Drive, and when police tried to make a traffic stop, the vehicle accelerated to speeds of 100 mph.
Harding explained the process Akron police officers go through when deciding to give chase and when to break off a pursuit. “We always review our policies, chase procedures, one that we’re currently in the process of reviewing to look to see if there is any updates that we need to make in that," Harding said. "It’s too soon to put out any information on what those revisions may be.”
