Chase ends in wreck

Christian Giggenbach
Register-Herald Reporter

A Saturday morning high-speed chase of a stolen vehicle ended when the suspect ran a red light and crashed into another car, resulting in two people going to the hospital, Beckley police said.

Cpl. S.L. McClure Jr. and Patrolman B.L. Fuller spotted the gray-colored Buick Lasabre on U.S. 19 about 7 a.m. after the car had been reported stolen just minutes earlier.

“While attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver, identified as Julie England, 26, failed to stop and a brief pursuit occurred,” McClure said. “During the course of the pursuit, the suspect failed to yield at a traffic light and collided with a 2007 Dodge truck driven by Samuel Adkins.”

An official with the Beckley Police Department said the accident happened near Crossroads Mall and that the suspect was believed to be traveling in excess of 100 mph at times.

England was flown to a Charleston hospital and Adkins was taken to a local hospital, McClure said. The extent of their injuries was unknown. McClure said charges have been filed against England, but did not specify what they were.

Assisting with the pursuit were Cpl. Adam Jones, Cpl. Dave Bailey, Sgt. Jeff McPeake and Lt. E.S. Rog-ers.
