A pursuit by police of two bank robbery suspects in Chesterfield County on Thursday morning ended in a fatal crash on Interstate 64 in western Henrico County.

One of the suspects died at the scene after being ejected from a Nissan Xterra, which overturned, Virginia State Police said.

Chesterfield police officers responded to a robbery alarm at 9:51 a.m. at the Wells Fargo branch at 9601 Amberdale Drive. A man entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding money while displaying a gun. He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, Chesterfield police spokeswoman Elizabeth Caroon said.

Responding officers were able to identify and get behind the suspects’ vehicle and a pursuit began, Caroon said.

The pursuit went into Richmond, where officers lost sight of the vehicle. A short time later, a state trooper located the vehicle about 10:10 a.m. on the Downtown Expressway in the city and joined the pursuit, said Sgt. Keeli Hill, a state police spokeswoman. The chase continued onto I-64, and Henrico police joined the pursuit.
