Vehicle fleeing from police hits another vehicle, 2 killed

MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Two people were killed when a vehicle fleeing from police struck their vehicle Wednesday evening on Spring Street, according to St. Joseph County FACT.

Around 8 p.m., Mishawaka Police were dispatched to the 500 block of E. 12th Street for reports a door was kicked in at a residence.

Officers began a foot pursuit with a male near that address and saw him get into the back seat of a silver Pontiac Grand Prix, reports said.
