Thursday afternoon, the driver of a vehicle involved in a Wake County Sheriff’s Office pursuit lost control and crashed on the new ramp from I-40 to US 70 just inside the Johnston County line.
Assistance from the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office was requested to locate the jump-and-run suspect. A drone and helicopter were utilized, along with a large number of law enforcement officers from Johnston and Wake counties, for several hours searching for the suspect, who was not located.
Evidence was collected from the wrecked car before it was towed away at around 8pm. No further information was released.
Maybe this would stop if harsher sentences were given and stop letting these people get off with little to no consequences. LEO and civilians lives are at risk with this activity yet judges hand down minimum sentences if any at all. And if it’s because of the current law for maximum sentences are little to nothing…maybe sentencing guidelines need to be revisited. Personally I’m sick and tired of just trying to drive to work or just do ordinary things having to watch out for these driving murderers.
The above comment so true.
There are plenty of these situations happening weekly,I was passed by a high speed chase near Burlington NC
I was shocked because the person fleeing was in a newer model pickup truck in the middle of the day. It could be a criminal as well as stressed out average joe?
If you are fleeing from police, you are not a stressed out average joe. You are a criminal.
