Prince George lockdown lifted after police pursuit; officer injured - WWBT NBC12 News
A high speed chase in Prince George County ends in an elementary school parking lot - and sends two people to the hospital. It happened Thursday morning just before 11 o'clock at a Pilot Truck Stop on County Drive and wound up in front of an elementary school. South Elementary was put on lock down after a police chase ended in the parking lot. "I saw it after it happened, where the police car had rammed into the front of the car that was being chased and the other car came around and t-boned it," explains Stiltner. Police say it started at the Pilot truck stop when a state trooper pulled over truck driver, Ronald White. But, investigators say before they knew it, White hopped into a white BMW and sped away leading police on a high speed chase. That chase ended, when police says White pulled into the parking lot of South elementary school, right across the street from long time resident Francine Thweatt. "I saw them over by the school and when I looked out there I saw 15-cars and I didn't know what was going on," say Thweatt. Police say when cornered- White rammed a county cruiser and then tried to run away. Source: www.nbc12.com
