RICHMOND, Va. — The search for three children allegedly abducted from their home in Virginia Beach is over following a police pursuit that ended in a crash in Maryland.
Virginia State Police confirmed to CBS 6 that they attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling northbound on I-95 in Fairfax County. The vehicle allegedly didn’t stop and a pursuit was initiated.
Virginia State Police say that the vehicle continued north onto I-495 in Maryland where the driver lost control and crashed near the intersection with Branch Avenue.
Fire officials in Prince George County, Maryland confirmed to CBS 6 that four people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Officials say that one child had to be med-flighted to a local hospital and the three other occupants, one adult and two children, were also taken to the hospital.
