DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — One person is dead and multiple people are injured following a crash in Susquehanna Township.
The crash happened at the intersection of Union Deposit Road and North Progress Avenue after a high speed chase had ended around 8:00 p.m. on July 23 in Lower Paxton Township.
According to Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo, four cars were involved in the crash.
Chardo said that police were chasing a vehicle, but had terminated their pursuit.
The driver of the fleeing vehicle continued traveling at a high rate of speed until the crash, causing his own death, Chardo said.
Susquehanna Township Police identified the deceased as Wallace Small. He was pronounced dead after the crash at Hershey Medical Center, police say.
Small was wanted on an outstanding bench warrant for drug charges from the Dauphin County Sheriff's Office, police say. His driver's license was under suspension until 2025. He was also on probation, and failed to turn himself in for the application of an electronic ankle monitoring device in February, according to police.
Police say they recovered three ounces of crack cocaine (valued at $6,000 to $8,000) and $6,000 in cash from Small's vehicle.
