Media summary: Police said an officer tried to stop 17-year-old David Mills' Crown Victoria just before 9:20 p.m. on S Westnedge Avenue because the car matched the description of one that had just fled from a traffic stop in Kalamazoo. Mills reportedly drove through a Pizza Hut parking lot, then headed west on Kilgore Road with the officer in pursuit. A second police cruiser joined the chase and a third officer set out stop sticks at Oakland and Schuring Road, but Mills kept driving. About four minutes after the chase began, Mills hit Crystal Marie Norton's Chevrolet Impala as she tried to turn north. Norton died at the scene. Mills and his teenage passenger were physically uninjured, according to reports. Mills was charged with first-degree fleeing and eluding police and driving without a license causing death.
