HALL COUNTY, Ga. — A man is dead after someone else led Georgia State Patrol on a chase in a stolen truck.
The victim’s daughter speaks LIVE on Channel 2 Action News at 4.
Troopers say they spotted a blue Chevrolet Silverado that had been reported stolen from Hardy Chevrolet in Gainesville on Shallowford Road on Wednesday afternoon.
Instead of stopping when troopers tried to pull him over, the driver, later identified as 35-year-old Daniel Davis, sped off through several city streets, according to GSP.

Troopers tried to stop Davis with two separate PIT maneuvers, but were unsuccessful.
That’s when GSP says Davis crashed into the back of another car, sending it off the road and into several trees. The driver of that car, 50-year-old Agustin Rivera of Gainesville, died at the scene.
