The incident unfolded around 2:24 a.m. on Friday, May 1, when troopers from PSP Fogelsville attempted to stop a 2015 Ford F-250 near 31st Street SW and West Emmaus Avenue in Allentown, according to the release.
The driver refused to stop, fleeing at a high rate of speed before losing control and crashing into a tree along the 3100 block of Lindberg Avenue, state police said.
Troopers immediately rendered aid to the two occupants — both 30-year-old men from Allentown, Pennsylvania — before they were transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest by Cetronia Ambulance for treatment of their injuries, authorities detailed.
Road closures were put in place at Fish Hatchery Road at Oxford Drive and 24th Street at Lindberg Avenue during the investigation.
The Pennsylvania State Police Troop M Major Case Team is leading the investigation, with assistance from collision reconstruction specialists, forensic services, multiple fire departments, and PennDOT, according to officials.
