STARR, S.C. (AP) – Sheriff’s deputies say one person is dead after a wreck in South Carolina following a chase where speeds topped 100 mph.
Anderson County Sheriff’s Lt. Sheila Cole told local media outlets that a deputy was chasing a burglary suspect early Thursday when the person being chased crashed near Starr.

The vehicle crashed minutes later. The driver was the only person in the car and was thrown from the vehicle.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating the wreck.
