Police Chase Ends With Crash in West Hempstead

The driver of a Mustang slammed into a fence that runs alongside the Long Island Railroad tracks in West Hempstead early Thursday after allegedly trying to flee from police.

The pursuit started on the Southern State Parkway after the driver reportedly failed to stop for a New York State Trooper. He then allegedly tried to escape the police by exiting the parkway and cutting around a few residential streets in West Hempstead.

But the chase came to an abrupt end around 1:20 a.m. on Mulberry Lane, a dead end.
