WAYNESBURG, Pa. — A high-speed chase on Interstate 79 that began near Waynesburg ended when the stolen car being pursued by state police crashed in Washington County early Wednesday.

State police on patrol in Franklin Township ran the vehicle’s license plate and learned it was stolen, prompting troopers to attempt to stop the vehicle about 2 a.m., state police Trooper Robert Broadwater said.

Troopers pursued the vehicle for several miles in the northbound lanes of I-79 before it crashed near the Marianna/Prosperity exit in Amwell Township.

Two men and a 17-year-old boy were injured, although none suffered life-threatening injuries, Broadwater said.

William Lee Ross, 20, of Latrobe, and Doryian Dewayne Williams, 18, of White Haven, Pa., were charged with receiving stolen property, criminal conspiracy, fleeing police and numerous traffic violations.

State police did not identity the 17-year-old, who is from Fairmont, W.Va.

Broadwater did not know who was the driver of the vehicle. He added juvenile probation of Greene County was contacted after the crash.
