Deputy Jeremy Rogers was on duty when he overheard a radio callout of a wrong-way driver on CA-101. Rogers responded, in an apparent violation of sheriff's protocol. Rogers entered the Glen Annie/Storke Road on-ramp and slowed to a crawl as he merged onto the highway. He failed to signal or put on his overhead lights and siren to indicate there was an emergency. Marcos Arredondo, 18, was driving south along the 101 with his two teenaged sisters and a family friend. Arredondo had to quickly change lanes to avoid hitting Rogers, which put him directly in the path of the oncoming suspect. Arredondo and the family friend, 58-year-old Macrina Ocampo, were killed in the crash. Richard Rodriguez pled guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, with three special allegations of causing great bodily injury or death, and was sentenced to 13 years in state prison.

Lashanna Snipes was killed when a 16-year-old driver being chased by auxiliary officer Lamont Aikens and Sgt. Janet Riley hit her car. The officers pursued Derion Henderson for driving 46 mph in a 30 zone. The officers initially claimed they stopped the chase at St. Louis Avenue. However, witness statements contradicted the police version. Aikens and Riley later said they resumed the chase after Henderson hit a witness' car. An attorney for Snipes' family said that claim was only made after the officers learned of the witness' statement. Henderson, who was sentenced to 17 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and vehicle tampering, said the police cruiser bumped him from behind, sending him into Snipes' car. Prosecutors charged Aikens with knowingly holding the commission of a police officer without a valid license, a misdemeanor. In 2013, Circuit Judge Dennis Smith acquitted Aikens. In June 2012, a St. Louis jury returned a $3.1 million verdict against Uplands Park for Snipes' death.
