"A beloved California mom and dog walker was killed Tuesday when a man leading police in a high-speed car chase barreled into her car, killing her and five of the six dogs she was bringing to a local park.
On Tuesday, just after 11:30 a.m., Jessica Bingaman, 41, of Long Beach, was driving northbound on Temple Ave. in her 2013 Ford Escape with six dogs inside when her small SUV was allegedly struck by a stolen van driven by Javier Olivarez, 43, of Los Angeles, the Long Beach Police Department says in a news release."
"On Tuesday morning, just minutes before the fatal crash, Long Beach police spotted the allegedly stolen 2016 Nissan van near the intersection of Broadway and Alamitos Avenue.
They tried to conduct a traffic stop, but Olivarez took off, sparking a short pursuit.
Police chased him a few blocks as he raced at high speeds through the largely residential area.
Bingaman had just stopped at a stop sign on 3rd St. and was proceeding along Temple when Olivarez allegedly came racing eastbound on 3rd St. – failing to stop for the stop sign there, the release says.
He crashed into Bingaman’s Escape, crushing it before careening into three parked cars.
After using the Jaws of Life to remove Bingaman from the twisted piece of metal, the Long Beach Fire Department rushed her to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead due to major traumatic injuries she sustained during the crash."
"Four of the dogs in Bingaman’s car died at the scene. The two surviving dogs were transported to a local pet hospital, where one of them died from its injuries.
The surviving dog has been released from the vet to its owners.
Olivarez was booked on charges including evading a police officer, felony DUI, vehicular manslaughter and grand theft auto, the release says.
He is a known gang member and parolee, say authorities, KTLA reports."
