A suspect who led Oklahoma City Police across the city was killed after he crashed the truck he was suspected of stealing.

The chase began when OCPD said the suspect stole a truck and fled from the scene. The chase came to an end when officers maneuvered into the stolen vehicle and caused it to roll into the median on Oklahoma City Boulevard near South Lee Avenue.

Officers approached the rolled truck in an armored car and attempted to communicate with the suspect. It was unknown at the time if the suspect was able to communicate with police, but officers began to break the windshield to pull him out.

Police said it is not known whether the crash itself caused the suspect's death or whether something else may have happened.

This is a developing story.
