CHARLOTTE, NC : Five people, including a young child, were rushed to the hospital after a serious crash on Wednesday, 18th November, 2020

Five people, including a young child, were rushed to the hospital after a serious crash during a police chase near I-85 Wednesday night.
The series of events that led to the crash began on November 17, when CMPD was notified about a man wanted for a felonious assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer in Fayetteville. Fayetteville police say detectives were assaulted while trying to take the suspect, identified as 27-year-old Marcus Alonzo Harris, into custody for prescription fraud. The detectives suffered minor injuries from the assault.
Harris was reportedly driving a white Toyota Camry.
Just before 9:55 p.m. Wednesday, officers spotted the Camry on the inbound lanes of Brookshire Freeway. They attempted to pull the vehicle over, but say Harris wouldn’t stop and a short pursuit ensued.
About one minute into the chase, police say, the Camry caused a collision between two other vehicles, which resulted in serious injuries to several involved. Police say the suspect’s vehicle crashed into the car that the 3-year-old girl was in with her mother and a man.
Three passengers in a Mitsubishi Gallant sustained serious injuries, and the fourth passenger, the 3-year-old, sustained life-threatening injuries.
Each passenger was taken to the hospital. CMPD said the 3-year-old girl remained in critical condition and was “fighting for her life” as of Thursday afternoon. “Please continue to pray for her and her family,” police said.
