At 12:35 a.m. an officer noticed a vehicle travelling toward him at a high rate of speed on Hammonds Plains Road. The officer turned around to attempt a traffic stop.
A short time later, the officer came across the scene of a single-car crash involving the small white car he was attempting to stop. The car was on fire, one young male had been ejected and was on the road. The driver, another young male, was still in the car. The car appeared to damage two utility poles during the collision.
