DAVENPORT, Iowa — One person is dead following an early-morning crash in Scott County.
According to a report from Iowa State Patrol (ISP), 20-year-old Javier Villarreal was attempting to elude officers while heading northbound in a 2011 Nissan Maxima near the intersection of North Brady Street and East 53rd St. shortly after 12:40 a.m. on Sunday, March 3.
Officers claim that Villarreal lost control of his vehicle and crashed, and he ultimately died of his injuries.
The ISP said they received a report of a reckless driver on the Iowa-bound lanes of the Centennial Bridge. The ISP said they located Villarreal's vehicle speeding in Davenport and initiated a traffic stop, at which point Villareal turned his headlights off. The ISP said the trooper was three or four blocks back when the crash occurred.
