The Pierce County Force Investigation Team is investigating after a driver died as authorities took them into custody in Tacoma on Tuesday night.
According to Lakewood Police Lt. Chris Lawler, at 7:39 p.m., a Washington State Patrol trooper tried to stop a red Ford truck in the 3700 block of Pacific Avenue.Based on that, the trooper thought the driver was severely impaired and continued trying to stop them as they drove south on Pacific Avenue.
The truck then turned east on 84th Street, when the driver either jumped or was ejected from the truck. The truck went between a high-voltage distribution pole and a light pole before hitting the light pole and crashing into the wall of an AM/PM gas station. The person was not compliant, and troopers used nonlethal methods to subdue them and take them into custody with the help of Tacoma Police.
