Cabazon. CA (October 5, 2024) On Thursday Evening, 23-year-old Carlie Membrin died in a horrific pursuit crash on Seminole Drive.

According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the fatal crash happened at about 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Seminole Drive and Malki Road.

Reports say that Membrin lost her life when a suspect, fleeing from deputies at nearly 100 mph, crashed into her car in Cabazon.

Officials say that around 9:30 p.m., Riverside County deputies observed a Ford Mustang traveling in the wrong direction on Seminole Drive, near Apache Trail, and suspected the driver of being under the influence. When deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver sped off, prompting a pursuit.

Authorities say that the chase, which covered about a mile, reached 90 to 95 mph speeds, heading westbound on Seminole. Membrin, who was in her Nissan Versa, had stopped at the intersection, preparing to turn when the Mustang, with deputies in pursuit, crashed into the back of her vehicle.

The impact pushed the Mustang into a nearby gas station, sparking a fire. Fortunately, firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, and no one inside the building was hurt. Membrin was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

The Mustang driver sustained serious injuries and was transported to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. Authorities have not yet released his identity or confirmed whether charges will be filed against him.
