Police chase deaths counted differently by NHTSA in 2013

Many crashes lack chase notes on official crash reports, with chase details in separate files or releases. Officials cited gaps in recording practices and subjective definitions affecting counted fatalities.

A second wave of killings occurred about five hours later in the Fuller Park area leaving a woman and two men dead and two others wounded.
