One person is dead and two others were taken to hospital early Monday morning after a vehicle fleeing police crashed into a tree in the Deer Lodge area.

Police said officers tried to pull a vehicle over around 12:45 a.m. to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver took off.

The vehicle was found in the 400 block of Truro Street, where it had crashed into a tree. All three occupants were taken to hospital — the driver and a teenage passenger in unstable condition, and another passenger in critical condition, who later died of her injuries.
