Officers responded around 7:30 a.m. to the intersection of 51st and Glendale avenues after reports of an erratic driver who had struck another vehicle. Glendale police were reportedly already pursuing the driver when the crash occurred. A passenger in the car that was struck was pronounced dead at the scene. Both the erratic driver and the driver of the vehicle that was hit sustained serious injuries, though neither was considered life-threatening.
