One person was killed, and four others were injured after a suspect vehicle led police on a chase before crashing into an MTA bus in Flint Tuesday evening, state police said.

At 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 16, Flint troopers were patrolling when they saw a suspect vehicle wanted in connection to a felonious assault and carjacking that had just happened on eastbound I-69 near Moorish Road.

Troopers tried to initiate a traffic stop on the 2009 Pontiac G8, but the driver fled.

A chase ensued for about three minutes but was stopped near Hammerberg Road due to safety concerns.

The suspect vehicle exited I-69 at Saginaw Street while troopers continued traveling on I-69.

Two minutes later, the vehicle crashed into an MTA bus at the intersection of Saginaw and 9th streets, state police said.
