It begins with stunt driving. It ends with a young man losing his life. I'm sorry to hit it. Georgia State Patrol says troopers responded to reports of numerous vehicles involved in illegal stunt driving near Killman Drive and Bibb Boulevard. They be drag racing up through here all the time you know for no reason. A spokesperson says the drivers had been moving around to different locations throughout Sunday night into Monday morning. They took off when troopers arrived. The spokesperson says troopers were initially chasing a white Chrysler 300. A GSP K9 unit was driving through Mountain Industrial Boulevard and Hugh Howell Road. His vehicle collided with a GMC pickup truck they say had been involved with the stunt driving earlier. Both vehicles caught fire. The trooper escaped through a window. GSP says the trooper tried to help the people inside the truck. Anthony Angeles was a passenger in the pickup. He died at the hospital. He was 19. Man that's that's heartbreaking. Saxon Jennings works at a gas station nearby. He was saddened to hear the news. I feel you know for his family and everything man I'm just sorry that happened. State Patrol says Emilio De Jesus was the driver of the pickup truck. He was taken to a hospital. He's expected to be okay. Jennings says drag racers pull up and challenge him all too often. If they want to do that they need to go to a racetrack area somewhere and do it not out here in public putting other people and their lives in danger. The GSP collision reconstruction team is investigating. The agency's office of professional standards is reviewing its own response and the actions of the trooper.
