Three former high school athletes driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit died in a fiery crash after leading police on a chase.
Three former high-school athletes in Texas died in a fiery crash after leading authorities on a high-speed chase, officials say.
Police tried to pull over Phabian Bynaum, 19, around 4 p.m. Thursday as he sped along US 190, between the towns of Cameron and Milano outside of Austin, with passengers Davarius Bynaum, 20, and Malik Thomas, 21, cops said.. It was not immediately clear if the Bynaums were related. Phabian lost control of his vehicle while trying to pass another car as authorities chased him, according to a release from the Texas Department of Public Safety. His vehicle crashed into a tree, barreled through a fence, flipped and then caught on fire in a field, officials said.
“Texas State Law requires motorists to pull to the right side of the roadway and stop when approached by an emergency vehicle with lights and sirens activated,” the agency said. Attempting to evade law enforcement in a motor vehicle is not only a felony, it places everyone on the roadways in danger.”
