The driver then struck another vehicle at “excessive speeds” while forcing other cars off the road. Officers performed a PIT maneuver on the vehicle, according to the Iron Garfield Beaver Kane Critical Incident Task Force.

Police say the suspect was then life-flighted to St. George Regional Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries. It is unclear what injuries the driver incurred.
