Woman killed during police chase on Rte. 422
A woman being pursued by state police was killed yesterday when her speeding sedan went out of control and overturned in upper Montgomery County, throwing her from the vehicle.
The woman's name was being withheld last night, but police at the scene described her as a 57-year-old Berks County resident. She died shortly after 5 p.m. when her car careened off westbound U.S. 422 in the Royersford area.
State police did not disclose why the woman was being pursued, but said that she refused to pull over and instead fled at high speeds. The vehicle flipped several times before coming to rest along Reifsnyder Road, police said. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. - Larry King
