Her cause and manner of death have not been determined.
The incident started just before 4 p.m. Sunday on South Main Street near Wolf Avenue when an Englewood police officer attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding and false registration. The vehicle initially slowed before accelerating and fleeing from the officer, Lang said.
The officer pursued the suspect vehicle for approximately 1.3 miles, when the suspect vehicle T-boned another vehicle attempting to turn left onto Sweet Potato Ridge Road. The suspect vehicle then went up on the sidewalk and hit two pedestrians before hitting a house about two lots away, Lang said.
The two suspects then got out of the vehicle and ran. The officer got out of the cruiser and began rendering aid to the pedestrians, Lang said.
A K-9 crew tracked the suspects to a nearby storage shed. It later was discovered the suspects also had warrants from Montgomery County.
Lang said the incident lasted 43 seconds from the attempted traffic stop to the crashes.
Five people were taken to the hospital, including the two suspects, the driver of the vehicle hit and the two pedestrians, said Englewood police Sgt. Mike Lang.
The second pedestrian was in critical condition and the driver was not critically injured as of Monday, he said.
The two suspects were taken to the hospital after showing signs of an overdose. One has been released and booked into jail and the second suspect was expected to be released and booked into jail sometime Monday, Lang said.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation of the crash and pursuit. The Englewood Police Department will conduct an internal investigation once the sheriff’s office finishes its investigation, Lang said.
