'It was horrible'
Around 1 p.m. Tuesday, a police chase that started in Anne Arundel County ended in a fiery crash just over the D.C. line. The sole survivor was handcuffed and sitting on the sidewalk, while an officer rushed to extinguish intense flames from the car.
WUSA9 downloaded the audio from the Prince George’s County Emergency scanner traffic and an officer can be heard saying, “I have one here barely breathing and burned badly the other pinned under car burned badly.”
“It was horrible, just horrible,” said Brian Burch who lives nearby and witnessed the aftermath. “I heard the noise. I was in my backyard. I saw the helicopter. As soon as I came out, I saw police officers arrest the kid that survived. The officers were trying to put an extinguisher on the far to get another kid out, but it was too much fire.”
2 burned with the vehicle
