alcohol-related, police said.

Man dies after police chase

A 25 year-old man died Feb. 9 when his car struck a wall and

overturned in the 7800 block of Talbert Avenue at 10:04 p.m., after

leading police on a high speed chase that began in Santa Ana, police

said.

Santa Ana police attempted to stop the man because he was driving

without his lights on, police said. Instead of stopping, the driver

engaged police in a chase, reaching speeds of more than 90 mph, said

Sgt. Carlos Rojas of the Santa Ana Police Department.

The police car following the vehicle ended the pursuit when speeds

became too dangerous and the officer could no longer see the vehicle,

Rojas said. The police helicopter continued to track the vehicle,

Rojas said.

When the car crossed into Huntington Beach at Beach Boulevard, the

helicopter reported that the driver lost control, hit a wall and the

car flipped over, killing the driver instantly, police said.

The vehicle was no longer being pursued by police at the time of

the accident, police said.
