Police followed the suspect and that’s when he drove off the side of the road into a ditch. Officers jumped out of their vehicles and as they headed towards the vehicle a bomb exploded blowing up the vehicle. One of the officers were rushed to the hospital for minor injuries caused by the bomb and the suspect was pronounced dead on the scene.
