A Zebulon police chase ended with the suspect crashing near a bridge in Raleigh early Monday, injuring himself, a Zebulon police officer and a Wake County sheriff's deputy.
Posted — UpdatedPolice said John Michael Vincent Hyatt, of 520 Twin Creeks Drive in Goldsboro, was driving 106 mph in a 70 mph zone in Zebulon about 1 a.m. Officers tried to stop him, but he fled to Raleigh, where Wake sheriff's deputies joined the chase, police said.
