OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/29/2026, Sebastian Hamilton was riding as a passenger in a Hyundai Santa Fe when an Abington Police Department officer attempted to stop the vehicle after determining it displayed an expired registration. The driver continued driving away while police pursued. The SUV ran a red light on Washington Street, left the roadway, and struck a tree. Hamilton suffered critical injuries in the crash and was transported to a hospital, where he died from his injuries on 08/01/2026. Family members later disputed the characterization of the Hyundai as a stolen vehicle, stating it belonged to the mother of one of the passengers, who had allowed her daughter to use it. They stated the vehicle had been taken without permission by Barlow but had not been stolen in the sense initially reported by police. The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office continues to investigate the pursuit and crash.
