The officer was able to get caught up to the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop at Lake Ave and Laverne Ave. Upon activating the police vehicles emergency lights, the vehicle accelerated from the patrol vehicle creating significant distance from the officer. As the speeding vehicle crossed State Blvd the vehicle started to lose control and crashed into a tree. The vehicle started on fire, but the two occupants were out of the vehicle at that time. Both occupants were transported to a local hospital, with one confirmed deceased.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators with the Fatal Crash Team are on scene documenting the crash scene. Speed is a factor in the crash. This investigation is being assisted by the Allen County Coroner\u2019s Office, the Allen County Prosecutor\u2019s Officer, and Fort Wayne Police Air Support Team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>All
