Media summary: Driver Jeremy D. Abbo and passenger Omari S. Davis were killed when their 1991 Honda Accord crashed while fleeing from Lt. Mike Haugen. According to police, Haugen saw the Honda run a red light on SW 15th at Washburn. Haugen reportedly turned on his lights and siren and tried to stop Abbo, who continued west. Police said that Haugen was about a minute behind the Honda when Abbo lost control on a curve, crossed the eastbound lane, drove off the road, went up a curb, struck a tree, rolled and skidded about 45 feet before coming to a stop. The car reportedly caught fire. Davis died at the scene. Abbo died later at a hospital. Another passenger, Nathan Andrews, 19, suffered injuries but survived.
