Flagstaff Woman Dies in Crash after Trying to Outrun Police

As experienced Arizona car accident lawyers, we are well aware of all that could go wrong when one violates the road rules. Especially when trying to avoid officers of the law. According to a Crash Facts Summary for Arizona in 2009, by jurisdiction, Flagstaff alone accounts for 1,940 out of a total of 3,768.

In recent news, a woman in Flagstaff who was trying to outrun police with her vehicle, crashed and died. According to police, the woman was 44-years-old. While outrunning the police, she was ejected from her vehicle and it rolled on top of her. Flagstaff police were trying to pull her over when they noticed an equipment violation on her vehicle. They were following her as she sped from area to area. Exactly 20 minutes later, police found her on Lake Mary Road and attempted to pull over her vehicle with emergency police lights. Seeing this, the woman accelerated and eventually lost control of her vehicle causing it to rollover. She was rushed to the Flagstaff Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
