Two people died in a crash after a pursuit with a Maryland Transportation Authority officer in Baltimore early Wednesday, according to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.
The crash unfolded after the MDTA officer followed a car as it exited Interstate 95 onto Key Highway around 2:18 a.m. The driver of an Infiniti failed to pull over for a traffic stop and led the officer on a high-speed pursuit, according to the AG’s office.
The passenger and driver died after the driver lost control and crashed into a support pillar beneath I-95.
No officers were injured.
