Police say Myers then fled at a high rate of speed off exit 101, proceeded through a red light, and continued toward DuBois.
Troopers continued to follow the vehicle that reportedly swerved through traffic and continued to flee on Midway Drive through Lowe’s parking lot and back to State Route 255 where the vehicle hit a curb and lost the trailer. Police say the vehicle continued to swerve through traffic till it reached the Industrial Drive Intersection, where it entered the northbound lane and struck a minivan occupied by two adults and three children.
