Media summary: Driver Crystal Gray and rear-seat passenger Shelby Kraft were killed when their car crashed into a tree and burst into flames after a police chase in Hemet. A third woman in the car suffered critical injuries. According to police, an officer stopped the car on Oakland Avenue shortly after 3 a.m. because it matched the description of a vehicle used in four separate shootings in Hemet and San Jacinto two days earlier, but witnesses to those incidents identified the shooters as men. As police questioned the three women, Gray reportedly sped off, reaching speeds of 100 mph before crashing.
