Overview

Vanessa Marie Del Toro died when she crashed her Range Rover while trying to evade police. At around 4:30 p.m., Del Toro was reportedly involved in a traffic accident and fled the scene. Her SUV was spotted a short time later by Woodland police chief Dan Bellini who started to follow her. Bellini said abandoned the chase after the SUV accelerated to 90 mph and became too dangerous to pursue. A short time later, Del Toro apparently lost control of the Range Rover and left the road, turned sideways and hit a tree in the front yard of a home. Del Toro was trapped inside the vehicle and died at the scene.
