Two people are dead after leading Napa County Sheriff's deputies on a pursuit overnight Tuesday, eventually crashing at the Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, authorities say. The Napa County Sheriff's Office says that deputies made a traffic stop on Highway 12 in Napa just past midnight.
There was a driver and a passenger in the car, who eventually took off as a chase began. Officials say that just over 10 minutes later, the car crashed at the Travis Air Force Base Visitor Parking Lot and was engulfed in flames.Deputies tried to put out the fire, but were unsuccessful and the two people inside the car were pronounced dead. Video from social media posted around 1 a.m. shows the car overturned by the sign at an entrance to the base."I heard the boom, the initial boom, and I was just worried it was a plane," he told ABC7 Eyewitness News. "Walked over and saw right away all the cop cars, all the fire trucks, the ambulances, and as soon as you walked in front of the building, you could see the fire and everything else."They said people trying to get into the base should use the Hospital Gate or the North Gate.
