3. Early Friday morning the Mooresville Police Department was called to check out a car with a stolen license plate. According to WBTV, "MPD were able to find it on Carriage Club Drive and tried to hold a traffic stop. That’s when they confirmed the car was stolen. The driver did not stop and fled southbound on Interstate 77 from exit 36. Officers deployed stop sticks between exits 36 and 35. They said the car abruptly stopped in the southbound HOV lane near mile marker 34. After that, two unidentified males got out of the car and ran away, officers said. The passenger went south and driver went east. Police said the driver jumped across the concrete barrier of the toll lanes and was hit by a vehicle traveling in the northbound HOV lane. The driver of the stolen vehicle died at the scene, police said. The driver and passenger of the vehicle that hit the suspect were not hurt. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol responded to the scene and is investigating the fatal collision." (WBTV)
