SUNDAY JUNE 3, 2007 - A Sunday morning police pursuit on Millersville Pike ended when a
Lancaster man crashed his car as he reached the city limits, police
said.
Jerome Millisock, 27, of 1233 St. Joseph St., recklessly passed four
cars and forced two oncoming motorists off the road as he drove east
from the Millersville Pike/Route 741 intersection at about 2:25 a.m.,
Millersville police Officer Brian Tatara said.
The pursuit ended after Millisock passed Manor Shopping Center. His
Ford sedan crashed into a fence and a utility pole at the northwest
corner of the intersection of Millersville Pike, West End Avenue and
Hershey Avenue, Tatara said.
Millisock faces charges of fleeing/eluding police, driving under the
influence of intoxicants, driving under suspension, reckless
endangerment and reckless driving, Tatara said. Millisock, who was on
probation at the time of the incident, was committed to Lancaster
County Prison, police said.
Police said Millisock failed to stop for a red light at Millersville
Pike and Route 741, failed to yield to Tatara and accelerated as he
drove east toward Lancaster.
He drove at a "high rate of speed,'' police said, but the exact
speed was not available. The vehicles he passed had stopped for a red
light at Schoolhouse Road, police said.
The pursuit lasted about two minutes. Millisock was not injured in the crash, police said.
