Part Of Pershing Avenue In Stockton Was Closed For Several Hours For Follow-Up Investigation Into Deadly Crash
STOCKTON (CBS13) — A busy Stockton road was closed for several hours late Thursday morning as officers follow up on an investigation from last week.
Pershing Avenue was closed in both directions from Country Club Boulevard to Mendocino Avenue between 9 and 11 a.m., Stockton police say. A detour was in place.
The investigation is related to last Wednesday's chase and crash that left one person dead.
In that incident, a driver was leading San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies on a chase when he crashed into a tree at Pershing and Michigan avenues.
Exactly why that driver, who has since been identified as 42-year-old Stockton resident Waldric V. Earvin, took off from police is still unclear.
