Authorities said the man died when his car crashed and flipped over while being pursued by police.
One man is dead and another man is injured after a vehicle crashed while being pursued Thursday by police in North Seattle, authorities said.
The pursuit began after police received a 911 call, in which operators could hear an argument involving at least a man and a woman, shortly after 3:45 a.m. near Northeast 130th Street and 32nd Avenue Northeast, Seattle police said.
A few minutes later, police said 911 operators received another call from two residents in the same area who said they heard two men screaming and arguing before a gunshot, according to police.
The first officer who arrived in the area reported seeing a Honda speeding away, police said. That officer then followed the Honda, which police said sped through stop lights and signs before heading south on Lake City Way Northeast.
