The multi-vehicle crash is happening following a police pursuit that is beginning in Newark and ending in East Orange. The driver of one of the vehicles is sustaining fatal injuries.

There, the pursued vehicle is crashing into a civilian vehicle and then careening into two other vehicles, including a parked ambulance. The driver of the pursued vehicle is dying from injuries sustained in the crash. All other involved civilians are suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
