The violent collision occurred around 1:56 a.m. at 16th Street and Mountain Avenue.
Upland, CA. – The San Bernardino County Coroner's Office said Jesus Guillen, 16, was one of the four people killed in a crash that happened early Friday morning in Upland involving a car being pursued by police.
The violent collision occurred around 1:56 a.m. at 16th Street and Mountain Avenue.
According to authorities, at around 1:50 a.m., deputies attempted to pull over a suspected DUI driver in a black 2018 Hyundai near Foothill Boulevard and Archibald Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga.
The driver of the Hyundai did not stop, prompting a chase that lasted about six minutes. The Hyundai was traveling at high speeds when it crashed into a white 2010 Ford Mustang and then a pole at 16th Street and Mountain Avenue.
The Hyundai split into three sections and caught fire after the collision.
The Hyundai was occupied by five males, including Guillen and a 13-year-old boy. All the occupants were ejected during the crash. Guillen and three others died at the scene, and the boy was hospitalized for his injuries.
A 35-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both from Ontario, occupied the Mustang. They were hospitalized as a precaution.
Investigators later determined that the Hyundai had been reported stolen out of Fontana. The deputies recovered a loaded firearm on one of the deceased parties.
Deputies from the San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga police departments, as well as the Ontario Police Department's aviation unit, were involved in the chase.
