Female Pedestrian Dies Following Police Chase in Palmdale on Avenue S and Sierra Highway

 
PALMDALE, CA (June 26, 2020) — A pedestrian died Wednesday evening following a police chase crash near East Avenue S and Sierra Highway.
 
According to authorities, the pedestrian, described as a female walking her dog, was hit by a car fleeing from deputies around 8:00 p.m.
