Enrique Lopez was allegedly driving a stolen tow truck when he was shot by a trooper. It wasn't immediately certain whether the high speed crash or the gunshot killed him. He apparently ran over spike strips which caused him to lose control of the tow truck, run through oncoming traffic and crash into a tree. No injuries or deaths were reported to bystanders.
