Two military men dead as car hits tree in Tacoma
TACOMA - Police say two young military men are dead in a car crash following a chase or street race in Tacoma
Officer Mark W. Fulghum says speed appears to be a factor in the crash.
According to a police report, the two were in a car that was either racing with or chasing another car early Sunday morning. The other driver told investigators the car followed him through an east side intersection, then went out of control and slammed into a tree.
The other driver stopped and tried to help, but the passenger died and the driver died shortly afterward at a hospital.
A police investigation is continuing.
