A Georgia sheriff's deputy was killed Thursday morning after being stuck by another law enforcement vehicle during a police chase that crossed into Alabama.

The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office said Deputy Sheriff Eric Minix was killed in the crash after the pursuit by Georgia law enforcement of a stolen vehicle continued into Alabama.

The sheriff's office wrote in a social media post that, "during the apprehension of the suspect Eric was struck by a police car and was pronounced dead at an area hospital."
