BALTIMORE (WBAL) — A car fleeing police collided with another car, struck a pedestrian and a building that collapsed onto the cars, video shows.

The Maryland Attorney General’s Office’s Independent Investigations Division on Thursday released video from police body-worn and CitiWatch cameras that show what led to the Feb. 8 crash in east Baltimore.

Investigators said police tried to stop a stolen car in the area of the 1800 block of East North Avenue. The car fled and struck another car at the intersection of North Wolfe Street and East Nort Avenue. That impact led the vehicles to hit a pedestrian, Alfred Fincher, 54, of Baltimore, before crashing into a vacant rowhome that collapsed.

Fincher died at the scene, and the driver of the stolen car was taken into custody.

The Independent Investigations Division continues to investigate the circumstances of the fatal crash.
