CAMPOBELLO—A police pursuit Tuesday in Campobello ended in a fatal crash, according to officials.

Around 1 p.m. on July 8, a deputy with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a vehicle on Highway 11 near Caldwell Road. Officials said the vehicle immediately turned onto Caldwell Road and accelerated, indicating the driver did not intend to stop.

“The deputy lost sight of the vehicle and began to slow down to disengage, but after rounding a small bend in the road, observed dust flying,” said Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Lt. Graham McLellan. “The suspect vehicle had exited the roadway and crashed into a small patch of woods.”

Two individuals were located after the crash by the deputy. One was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment, while the other showed no signs of life. Authorities said it is currently unknown which individual was driving.

“The South Carolina Highway Patrol MAIT team is en route to work the collision,” McLellan said. “The Coroner’s Office is also on scene.”

The name of the deceased has not been released.
