A man killed in a fiery crash near Jonathan Dickinson State Park following a 16-mile police pursuit had been arrested at least 10 times since 2001 and had a history of assaulting his own mother, the Martin County sheriff said.
Surveillance footage shows police pursuing Walter Turner II, who reached speeds near 100 miles per hour while driving the wrong way in a car registered to his mother. The pursuit began in Riviera Beach before ending in a devastating crash that killed Turner at the scene and injured four people, including a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old. All four are expected to recover.
