FRANKLIN, Ohio

Police in Ohio say a shoplifting suspect who was leading officers on a brief chase crashed her car and died.

Franklin police say the chase began Thursday after a Walmart manager told authorities a woman left the store without paying and left in a pickup truck.

Authorities say an officer spotted the truck speeding early Thursday and began chasing it until it crashed into a tree.

The State Highway Patrol said the driver was thrown from the truck. It identified the woman who died as 40-year-old Misty Sorrell of Springboro.
