Officers said they observed a woman driving a black Ford Explorer near Southwest 36th St. and Agnew Avenue about 8 a.m. According to authorities, the woman was driving erratically and officers attempted to stop the SUV, but the driver fled. During a short pursuit officers said they observed the woman throw a case of beer out the window of the SUV neat Southwest 30th St. and Youngs Blvd. 

According to police, the suspect rapidly accelerated to a dangerous speed as the pursuit went northbound on Agnew Ave. and officers discontinued the pursuit and lost sight of the vehicle. Moments later, officers said they were flagged down by a person who reported an injury crash near the I-40 service road and South Agnew Ave.

Investigators said the suspect's SUV collided with a gray Chevy pickup truck carrying a family of four. Police said the suspect displayed signs of intoxication and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 13-year-old boy in the backseat was not buckled in and was ejected, authorities said. All four family members were taken to a local hospital and are expected to survive their injuries. 

At one point, one of the vehicles caught fire, but authorities have not said which vehicle it was.
