3 Killed In Crash While Fleeing Police In Montco

UPDATE: HS Student Among Victims Of Fatal Limerick Chase, Crash

LIMERICK, PA — Three people, including an Owen J. Roberts High School student, were killed in the crash in Limerick Township Tuesday night after a theft and ensuing police chase, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said. A fourth occupant of the vehicle was injured but survived.

The incident began at about 9:06 p.m. at the Target on Ridge Pike.

Police arrived at the Target and attempted to stop the vehicle containing the suspects, but it fled, officials said.

The vehicle lost control minutes late on the 300 block of Ridge Pike, smashing into the retaining wall of a local business, Apothecary Hair Lounge.

The victims of the crash have only been identified as two men and a woman, as police are still notifying next of kind. A fourth occupant, a man, survived the crash and was taken to Temple University Hospital for treatment.

Apothecary Hair Salon was shut down on Wednesday as they worked to assess repair the significant damage.

"We are sure many of you heard there was a fatal car accident that hit our retaining wall and sign," the business said in a statement. "We are saddened that anyone had to lose their lives. Our building also had some damage that will affect us being able to occupy it. Until we are able to assess and clean, we will be closed 6/4. Thank you for your patience and understanding."

Montgomery County Detectives are investigating the incident.
