BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. — A Virginia man is facing 30 felony charges after a pursuit that started in Brunswick County at speeds of 100 mph and ended with a crash in Emporia Friday afternoon.
Troopers were asked to assist the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office in stopping a driver on Route 58 just after 12 p.m., according to officials with Virginia State Police.
After deputies stopped their pursuit, a state trooper spotted the Hyundai Genesis on Route 58 "speeding recklessly at 100 mph in a 45 mph zone," officials said.
