Does anyone know if their were any injuries or fatalities at this accident. I'm out of town and have friends I can't reach that live near there. Thanks
Brian215 Heard this accident on the police scanner and I believe it was two brothers in a van who ran from the scene but were caught shortly after. Didn't sound like there were injuries but if I remember right, one had an outstanding warrant.
