Two innocent people were killed after a police pursuit early Saturday morning in Detroit & Southfield.
Michigan State Police troopers located a 2006 Ford Super Duty pickup truck that was reported stolen in the back of a gas station on Eight Mile Road.
The suspect driver of the pickup backed up, nearly hitting the patrol car. The suspect then exited the parking lot onto 8 Mile Road near the Southfield Freeway. The troopers attempted a traffic stop, and the suspect fled the scene.
The pursuit continued north onto the Lodge, and the suspect exited on northbound Telegraph Road and shut their headlights off. The suspect then made a U-turn and drove southbound on Telegraph.
The vehicle then entered northbound M-10, heading southbound with its headlights still off. The suspect driver then stuck a 2011 GMC Terrain that was northbound head-on near Southfield Freeway.
The occupants of the GMC Terrain, a 45-year-old and 43-year-old couple from Farmington Hills, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The occupants of the suspect vehicle, a 35-year-old male (driver) from Romulus and a 29-year-old female (passenger) from Detroit, are listed in serious condition at a local hospital but are expected to survive. @metrodetroitnews
