A car chase through two central Alabama counties ended in a deadly shooting Thursday.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said a trooper tried to pull over a 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 truck on Interstate 65 around 2:26 p.m.
The driver of the truck refused to stop and began a chase that went from Autauga County to Montgomery County.
During the chase, there were two traffic crashes and eventually, the truck crashed and overturned.
“Gunfire was exchanged between an occupant in the Dodge pickup and ALEA Troopers,” the ALEA said. “One subject is deceased, and a second subject has been transported to a local hospital for medical treatment.”
No troopers were injured during the chase or exchange of gunfire.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said its State Bureau of Investigation will review the officer-involved shooting and turn results over to the Montgomery County district attorney.
