The driver was identified as Noe Rios of Duarte, according to the Los Angeles County Medical-Examiner's office. Officers received a call regarding a welfare check on a person exhibiting mental health concerns around 1:05 p.m. Thursday, according to Azusa Police Department spokesman Lt. Jake Bushey. Moments later, responding officers located Rios at the wheel of a vehicle northbound on Azusa Avenue in the city's downtown area and attempted to pull him over, resulting in a slow-speed pursuit leading into Azusa Canyon, Bushey said.
