A dangerous chase with Augusta authorities on Friday turned deadly.
Georgia Department of Public Safety spokesperson Franka Young said via news release that a Blythe police officer tried to stop a Mercury Sable for speeding north on Deans Bridge Road when the suspect allegedly refused to stop. As they approached the Bath Edie Road intersection, the suspect entered the southbound lanes still traveling north. Young said the Blythe officer didn’t pursue the suspect on the wrong side of the road.
After traveling north for about a mile, the suspect hit a southbound truck head-on just north of the Etterle Road intersection. The suspect’s car caught on fire and became engulfed in flames. Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen reported that the three occupants in the fleeing vehicle were pronounced dead on the scene at 8:45 p.m. An autopsy has been scheduled.
Positive ID of the occupants will be made after an autopsy is conducted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab. The crash report for this incident was not complete as of Saturday afternoon

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A woman was found shot dead in Augusta, the latest victim in a two-year outbreak of deadly crime that’s claimed more than 170 lives across the CSRA.
She was found with at least one gunshot wound, lying in the 200 block of Dan Bowles Road, according to the Richmond County Coroner’s Office.
The woman was pronounced dead at 8 p.m. Friday and an autopsy has been scheduled.
The shooting comes amid an outbreak of violent crime that’s claimed more than 170 lives in a little over two years across the CSRA.
The crime outbreak has affected communities large and small, but as the biggest city in the region, Augusta has been hit especially hard.
Authorities have blamed much of the problem on gangs.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – According to Westside and Laney high school coaches, there was a shooting outside of the Lucy C. Laney stadium during the game on Friday night.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were dispatched to the area of Augusta Court and Blounts Avenue for multiple gun shots near the Laney High School Football Field where a game was being played.
Both coaches say their teams are okay.
Friday was the first game of the football season.
The sheriff’s office says there have no victims located.
While on scene, deputies found cartridge casings and property damage.
A news 12 crew on scene says there are bullet holes along a nearby apartment complex.
Deputies say at this time, it appears all the gun shots fired occurred outside the stadium.
