Police Chase Kills Suspect in Fiery Crash on Indiana Toll Road

A police pursuit initiated by Munster police late Monday night ended in a fatal crash on the westbound side of I-80/94 near the Cline Avenue exit in Hammond, Indiana. The driver, who fled from a traffic stop, lost control and crashed into a bridge support column, causing the vehicle to burst into flames. The driver, the only occupant, died at the scene, and the Indiana State Police are leading the ongoing investigation. Authorities have not released the reason for the initial traffic stop or identified the deceased pending family notification. Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Indiana State Police, assisted in the pursuit. The ramp at the crash site has since reopened, and further details are awaited.
