COLUMBUS COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) – A police chase beginning in Horry County, South Carolina, ended with a crash in Fair Bluff Monday, Oct. 21.

According to the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), the Horry County Police Department (HCPD) was in pursuit of 27-year-old Kendan Quashan Crawford on Swamp Fox Highway E when the chase approached Tabor City. As the chase entered North Carolina, a corporal with the CCSO joined.

Crawford was wanted by the HCPD for a felony probation violation.

During the pursuit, Crawford is accused of traveling in excess of 110 mph, weaving into oncoming traffic and passing multiple vehicles while in no-passing zones.

The chase continued for a brief time, until Crawford allegedly lost control at the intersection of Main Street and Conway Road, crashing into a tree.

He was taken into custody without further incident and is being held under no bond at the Columbus County Detention Center.
