Media summary: A deputy was investigating a report of a possible meth lab when he saw a purple, older-model Mustang drive by. That car allegedly had been linked to the house in question, and the deputy started to chase it. The 1987 Ford Mustang was going at a high speed down a rural road with headlights off when the driver lost control and hit some trees. The crash seriously injured the driver, Dale Hite, and killed passengers Amber McMillen and Nicholas White.
