LCSO reports that the crash occurred at approximately 10 p.m. on Thursday at Santa Cruz Street and Woodward Avenue in North Fort Myers.

According to LCSO, Michael Kurpaska was driving the U-Haul and attempted to outrun a deputy, who tried to pull him over after a license plate reader showed the U-Haul was stolen.
