**Fatal Des Moines car crash death of Chad Nicholson – Obituary
Chad Nicholson, a 16-year-old from Des Moines, was identified by the Iowa State Patrol as the passenger who lost his life in a downtown Des Moines car crash.
According to authorities, Nicholson was in a vehicle driven by another 16-year-old who attempted to evade police on Interstate 235 near Keosauqua Way around 1 a.m. on Wednesday. The driver exited the highway at 31st Street, heading south before turning east onto Grand Avenue. As the fleeing Hyundai accelerated down Grand Avenue in the wrong direction, a state trooper reduced speed and eventually discovered the aftermath of a crash at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Seventh Street. The collision involved the Hyundai and a Jeep Cherokee, whose occupants sustained minor injuries.
The Hyundai, which had five occupants aged 15 to 20, was reported stolen. While four passengers, including the driver, suffered injuries ranging from minor to severe, Nicholson tragically died at the scene.
The driver, who reportedly had outstanding arrest warrants and was allegedly armed, has not yet been charged in connection with the crash, which also caused damage to the Ruan Center at 666 Grand Avenue.
