Authorities are investigating the circumstances of a wild car chase that ended with one suspect killed by police and his passenger hospitalized.

The pursuit started in the Bronx and crossed into the suburban City of Yonkers on Tuesday after police tried to stop a Nissan sedan driving recklessly.

The car at some point headed into oncoming traffic on the Saw Mill River Parkway, crashing into several vehicles.

Officers went after the driver when he ran into a county park. Police say during a struggle, an officer’s firearm discharged, fatally striking 36-year-old Miguel Espinal of Queens.

His 25-year-old passenger was hospitalized in stable condition. Police didn’t identify him or say if he faced charges.

Police say no weapon was recovered.

The Westchester district attorney and the New York attorney general’s office are investigating.
