The driver refused to stop, and a chase began. The pursuit went onto Highway 794 at Edgerton Avenue – speeds topping 100 mph. Due to safety concerns, officers called it off near Howard Avenue in St. Francis.
Several minutes later, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office notified Cudahy police that the car was involved in a rollover crash near Veterans Park off Lincoln Memorial Drive.
