Two 10-year-old boys were killed in a "horrific" rollover wreck after the driver of their vehicle fled a traffic stop and crashed following a law enforcement pursuit, authorities said.
The incident occurred shortly before midnight Wednesday in Waukesha County, Wisconsin.
A Waukesha County deputy attempted a traffic stop in the city of Pewaukee around 11:49 p.m. local time on a vehicle that was speeding and had no plates displayed, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
The driver of the vehicle initially stopped but then fled "at a high rate of speed" before the deputy was able to make contact with the driver, Waukesha County Sheriff's Department Deputy Inspector Patrick Esser told reporters during a press briefing Thursday.
