A 22-year-old Dames Quarter man has been indicted by a Northampton County Grand Jury in connection with a high-speed chase on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel in December.
The felony count charged Colby William Horner of eluding police after being clocked by radar going 101 mph on the Bridge Tunnel. An officer said Horner continued going about 70 mph north while disregarding lights and sirens. The suspect eventually entered a construction area and crashed.

If they had a "3 swings for $5.00" deal I bet they could raise a boatload of money for charity or anything else! When I was on Student Council at PHS we got a junker car donated, parked it next to Bethany Methodist and charged people $1.00 a swing and raised over $200 and that was in 1965 dollars!

It was initially reported that Northampton County Deputies continued the pursuit across the bridge and into the city of Virginia Beach once the vehicle entered the tunnel. But upon further investigation, VSP shared on Sunday that Northampton Sheriff Deputies terminated their participation of the pursuit prior to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. New information reports that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Police Department pursued the stolen vehicle across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the city of Virginia Beach.
Local troopers in the city noticed the suspect fleeing from law enforcement and initiated pursuit of the vehicle as well.
The pursuit continued down Shore Drive when the driver lost control of the pickup truck. The vehicle traveled off the road and into the tree line at the intersection of Shore Drive and Atlantic Avenue.
Troopers approached the vehicle to render aid and discovered the driver (and only occupant) was suffering from serious life threatening injuries. He was speaking to troopers at this time.
VSP report that the driver died shortly after from the injuries he sustained. He has not been identified.
The investigation is ongoing.

This does not reflect well on local law enforcement. They let the perpetrator travel from Exmore all the way to the Bridge Tunnel entrance without being able to stop him. Then they allowed him to travel through a bridge-tunnel complex without any escape route (but he escaped, anyway) then make a left turn onto Shore Drive and proceed another 7.5 miles until he crashed at the turn at Atlantic Avenue.
Yeah, I know, I wasn't there, I don't know the situation, I am not an expert in law enforcement, etc., etc.. But this is plain incompetence and/or stupidity.
