HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant I. Izaguirre and Officer K. Heaverlo reported:

Officers received information regarding a stolen black Toyota Tacoma in their area.  The officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver of the stolen truck refused to pull over and led officers on a vehicle pursuit.  As the suspect approached the 8100 block of Greenbriar at a high rate of speed, he lost control of the vehicle and struck a curb.  The Tacoma then rolled and ejected the suspect from the vehicle.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation is continuing.
