RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A sheriff’s office in North Carolina says a suspect leading deputies on a car chase has died in a crash.
The Wake County Sheriff’s Office says they were responding to a call that someone was making threats in a Raleigh neighborhood on Sunday, when a suspect crashed into their squad car and fled. Spokesman Eric Curry said on Monday that deputies began chasing the man, but lost sight of the car and later found it wrecked.
The sheriff’s office says the driver lost control of the vehicle. He died at the scene and an injured passenger was taken to a hospital.
The News & Observer reports video taken by a witness shows the car against a tree with passengers trapped inside, screaming for help.
The State Highway Patrol is investigating.
