Cabazon, California: 23-year-old Carlie Membrin of Banning died earlier this month after her car was hit by a suspect being pursued by police in Cabazon.

According to Cabazon police, the incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on October 3 at Seminole Drive and Malki Road.

On that day, a Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy attempted to pull over a red Ford Mustang convertible driven by a 48-year-old Hemet man at the roundabout on Morongo Trail and Seminole Drive.

The Hemet man failed to stop and led the deputy on a chase that reached speeds of 90 to 95 mph.

The pursuit ended when the suspect crashed into the rear of a Nissan Versa waiting at a stop sign at the intersection of Seminole Drive and Malki Road.

Both vehicles were pushed by the force of the impact into a nearby business.

Membrin was driving the Nissan and died at the scene.

The Hemet man suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was arrested for charges of felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter. The suspect was booked into jail on October 6 but was released the next day on $75,000 bail.
