The family’s car burst into flames, according to reports.
Coleman was pulled over by East McKeesport police Thursday afternoon for making an illegal turn, but authorities said he sped away when officers learned he had a warrant violating his probation.
A second vehicle was also reportedly struck by Coleman's.
Witness Paul Trammel, who lives nearby, said in an interview that police "should have backed off" because "they would have eventually gotten the guy sooner or later... They had the guy's license plate."
Coleman, of Pittsburgh, is charged with criminal homicide, vehicular homicide, and aggravated assault with a vehicle, among other charges.
