A man died after fleeing a traffic stop and leading Pennsylvania State Police on a chase that ended in a crash.
Juan Diaz, 25, of Newark, New Jersey, died after his pickup truck overturned on Route 22 in Northampton County.
Police said the chase began around 9:51 p.m. on Wednesday when a trooper pulled over a Chevrolet Silverado on Route 22 in Hanover Township, Lehigh County.
Diaz initially stopped but then sped away, leading police on a chase.
During the pursuit, police said Diaz traveled the wrong way on Route 22.
A trooper used a PIT maneuver to stop the truck in Bethlehem Township, Northampton County. The truck overturned in a grassy area, ejecting Diaz.
Troopers provided medical assistance before Diaz was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday to determine his cause of death.
