A brief high-speed pursuit through Loyalsock Township with state police late Thursday night ended when motorist Wykir Richardson lost control of his 2021 Toyota Rav4, which jumped the curb and struck a guardrail at Four Mile Drive and Warran Avenue, according to court records.
Richardson, 19, of Penn Hills, Allegheny County, bailed out of the SUV and took off running as did his two passengers, but all three were quickly nabbed, police said.
One passenger, not identified in court papers, was taken by ambulance to UPMC Williamsport to be treated for injuries he suffered in the 11:30 p.m. crash.
