Description
A passenger in a pickup truck was killed and another woman was injured when the driver, a lance corporal from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, crashed while being pursued by Escondido police after shoplifting from a sporting goods store, authorities said Tuesday.
The driver, identified as 21-year-old John Eugene Brand, was arrested and jailed on suspicion of 11 felony counts.
At about 10:28 p.m. Monday, officers responded to Dick's Sporting Goods on Auto Park Way after reports of a man and two women stealing merchandise.
As officers arrived, the suspects entered a pickup truck and fled the scene, authorities said. Officers pursued the truck east through Escondido onto Washington Avenue, where the driver tried to make a high-speed turn onto Fig Street but lost control and collided with a retaining wall.
The two female passengers were ejected, and the driver ran away. Both women were taken to a hospital, police said, where one was pronounced dead. The second woman underwent surgery and was expected to survive.
