AMESBURY, Mass. — A man has died following a police chase in Amesbury after he was ejected from a vehicle and struck by another car when it crashed at an intersection.
Around 9:09 p.m., Amesbury police attempted to stop a vehicle on Hillside Avenue. Authorities said the driver initially pulled over but fled before officers could make contact.
Police pursued the vehicle, and within approximately two minutes — about three miles from the initial stop — it crashed at the intersection of Elm Street and Route 110.
As a result of the crash, a backseat passenger was ejected and subsequently struck by another vehicle. The man died from his injuries.
Three other occupants were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
All three surviving occupants are facing charges. Eighteen-year-old Yenciel Sotto is charged with speeding, marked lanes violations, failure to stop for a red light, failure to stop for police, driving with a suspended license, trafficking heroin, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, vandalizing property, and motor vehicle homicide by reckless operation.
Felix Agramonte, 24, of Lawrence, and Iran Soto-Custodio, 29, also of Lawrence, are each charged with trafficking heroin.
All three are expected to be arraigned in court.
