A vehicle being pursued by central Indiana police officers slammed into two other vehicles, killing two people and seriously injuring four others while leaving the suspect with minor injuries, police said.

Anderson police said in a news release that officers in nearby Pendleton began pursuing the suspect’s vehicle Sunday afternoon before that chase crossed into Anderson.

The pursuit ended when the suspect’s vehicle struck two other vehicles in Anderson, a city about 30 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
