A short time later, a Fresno County Sheriff’s deputy spotted the suspect’s car. Police said the driver sped up and tossed a gun out the window.
The deputy turned on his lights and sirens and continued to follow the car at speeds up to 75 mph.
The suspect crashed into a parked car and was severely injured. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital, where he later died.
