A Harford County man and a Baltimore woman were seriously injured yesterday after leading a state trooper in a chase on Interstate 95 in Howard County, where speeds exceeded 100 mph, state police said.
Lloyd Alvin Harris, 39, of Harford County and Terry Dorsett Taylor, 48, of Baltimore were charged with possession of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Harris, the driver, was charged with fleeing and eluding police, reckless driving, driving on a suspended and revoked license, and several other traffic charges.
Both Harris and Taylor were flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore and were listed in serious condition, police said. According to police, Tfc. Clifford T. Hughes was on patrol in an unmarked police car and headed north on I-95 yesterday morning when he saw a vehicle, driven by Harris, make an illegal turn in the crossover and pull into a northbound rest area. Hughes tried to make a traffic stop, but the driver would not pull over and led Hughes on a high-speed pursuit north on I-95, police said.
