Police ID Driver, Passengers In Stolen Car Crash

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Police have identified the four people inside a car that crashed into a pole on US 40 in Havre de Grace Monday night following a protracted chase. Charges are pending in the case, according to officials.

Police said that a trooper from the North East barrack tried to stop the 2005 Subaru Outback at a traffic light in Elkton but the driver made a U-turn at the light and peeled off. Another officer attempted to make a stop, which was also ineffective.

Police said that authorities in Perryville used stop sticks at two locations — US 40 at Jackson Station Road and US 40 at MD 222 — to try to slow down the car.
