The Richmond Police Department has arrested Harvey Williams, 20, of the 1200 block of Nelson Street on charges related to a crash on Decatur Street yesterday morning.
At approximately
12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 20, officers initiated a traffic stop at E
30th Street and Burfoot Street in reference to a stolen vehicle
out of the city. After the officers activated their emergency equipment,
the suspect vehicle failed to stop.
A short distance
later, the suspect vehicle disregarded a stop sign at Decatur Street and East
Broad Rock Road and was struck by another vehicle. The collision caused
the suspect vehicle to flip off the road and hit the front porch of a home in
the 3100 block of Decatur Street.
All four occupants
of the suspect vehicle were taken to a local hospital for medical
treatment. The three passengers were juveniles and one of them originally
suffered life-threatening injuries. The status of those injuries has
since changed to non-life threatening.
Williams, the
driver, was also taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
Officers found narcotics on his person. Williams was charged with Possession
of Crack with Intent, three counts of Felony Child Endangerment, Possession of
Marijuana, and Felony Eluding. Additional charges are pending,
including charges for the motor vehicle theft.
The investigation
is ongoing.
