NEW CASTLE, DE – A high-speed pursuit involving a stolen SUV ended in a crash along Route 1 Thursday morning, leaving four suspects in custody and a stolen handgun recovered, according to Delaware State Police.
The incident began around 9:50 a.m. when a trooper assigned to the Highway Safety Unit observed a Kia Sportage traveling southbound near School House Road at what police described as a high rate of speed. When the trooper attempted a traffic stop, the driver accelerated and refused to pull over, prompting a brief pursuit that was later discontinued due to public safety concerns just south of the William V. Roth Jr. Bridge.
