JOHNSTON COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Four people were taken into custody after a high-speed chase through Johnston County late Friday night.
Our crew on the scene said a State Highway Patrol trooper attempted to stop an SUV in Sampson County for going 90 mph in a 70 mph zone just before midnight. The vehicle reportedly pulled over and then fled.
Authorities told our crew the trooper chased the vehicle into Johnston County on I-40 at speeds exceeding 100 mph.
After the trooper performed a pit maneuver, the SUV spun into the median into the guardrail shortly after midnight.
All four of the SUV's occupants were taken into custody after they were checked out at Betsy Johnson Hospital in Dunn. No serious injuries were reported.
Troopers have not yet released the names of those arrested.
