New footage from deadly crash on East Union Street
Two people are dead and two others are seriously injured after a Thursday evening crash on East Union Street in Morganton.
The crash happened after a Morganton Department of Public Safety officer pulled a car over Thursday night around 7:30 p.m. and discovered the driver of the car had warrants for their arrest, said Trooper A.K. Johnson with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
When the MDPS officer attempted to take the driver into custody, they fled, Johnson said. The MDPS officer went back to their car to pursue, but the car had turned off its headlights and the officer had lost sight of it.
