‘This tragedy isn’t fair’: Two young children killed after suspect fleeing cops slams into their car at 100 mph

A California family is grieving after two brothers, ages 8 and 4, were killed by a man fleeing police in San Diego.

It happened Friday night when San Diego police officers tried to pull over a BMW at 32nd Street and Ocean View Boulevard. The driver, identified as 20-year-old Angel Velasquez Salgado, did not stop. He kept driving, sometimes at speeds of 100 mph, across city streets and two highways, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. He crashed with a Honda occupied by four people on the I-805 highway off-ramp at 43rd Street.

The BMW and the Honda rolled down an embankment and hit a tree. The tree fell on the Honda, which then caught fire, local NBC affiliate KNSD reported. Salgado ran away, but cops caught him and took him to jail. First responders did CPR on the boys, who were taken to the hospital where they died. The two other people in the car, the boys’ mother and aunt, also were injured and taken to the hospital.
