Summary

Police Pursuit Crash Washington Connecticut in Washington, Connecticut: A 46-year-old moped rider, Nolberto Meza, was killed during a U.S. Park Police pursuit along Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C. Investigators say 24-year-old Tomas Anderson fled a traffic stop on Saturday, leading Park Police on a high-speed chase that resulted in the fatal crash.

Federal prosecutors dropped the charges on Wednesday due to insufficient evidence, releasing both men while they gather more evidence.
