3 Burglary Suspects Killed, 2 Injured in Anaheim Pursuit Crash

In Anaheim, California, a police pursuit of burglary suspects on the northbound I-5 Freeway near Brookhurst Street early on July 16 ended in a fatal crash that killed three suspects and injured two others. The chase began after officers responded to reports of attempted car theft and connected the fleeing black sedan with the burglary suspects. The driver lost control near the Brookhurst exit, causing the vehicle to overturn and come to rest on the freeway shoulder. The three deceased suspects were pronounced dead at the scene, while the two injured were hospitalized, one in critical condition and the other stable. Authorities have not released the suspects' identities pending family notification and are continuing investigations into both the crash and the burglary. A SigAlert was issued during the crash investigation, and no officers or other drivers were injured in the incident.
