Two Michigan Residents Injured in Fatal Indiana Police Chase after Retail Theft

Two Michigan residents were injured, one critically, when their SUV was struck by a teenage driver being pursued by Indiana State Police after an alleged theft from a Meijer store. Miguel Linares Jr., 34, of Bloomfield Hills, suffered potentially life-threatening injuries in Saturday night’s collision in Warsaw, Indiana., police said. His passenger, Nora Linares, 35, also of Bloomfield Hills, suffered serious injuries.  Both were being treated at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. The incident began about 9:20 p.m. Saturday when an Indiana state trooper responded to a reported theft at a Meijer store in Warsaw. Authorities said the trooper saw a Pontiac Grand Am matching the suspect vehicle’s description and attempted to stop it, but it fled east on U.S. 30. It drove through a red light at the intersection of the highway and Parker Street, crashing into three other vehicles, including the one driven by Miguel Linares. The two occupants in the Grand Am both died. The driver was identified by police as Jacob Slone, 19. The passenger was identified as Paige Jefferson, 16. Both were from Warsaw. [Source: Mlive]
