OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
A person in what was believed to be a stolen car made a U-turn on the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway Monday afternoon to get away from deputies and crashed head-on into a car traveling the opposite direction. The man driving the wrong-way car and a teenage boy and girl in the other car died at the scene of the crash.
The sheriff’s office said 70 seconds elapsed between when the pursuing deputy turned on his blue lights and siren at Dolphin Drive, and when the two cars collided on the beltway.
