We followed the chase live with Osage SkyNews Six HD on October 29th.

It started on the Will Rogers Turnpike near Catoosa, sped through Tulsa, and ended just before the Turner Turnpike entrance.

Investigators said Torres rammed one trooper's car several times during the chase.

That trooper ultimately used a tactical driving maneuver to cause Torres to crash, ending the chase.
