Sparta driver facing criminal charges after high-speed chase and fatal crash on I-90

A driver from Monroe County could be charged, following a high-speed chase on I-90 that led to a deadly crash.
A speeding vehicle passed a sheriff’s deputy in the Portage area on Saturday, and the deputy tried to get the vehicle to stop. That vehicle rolled over while trying to exit onto Highway 33, and two people were thrown from the vehicle. One of them was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three others who had ridden in the vehicle, including the 22-year-old driver from Sparta, were taken to hospitals. As of late Sunday, officers had not yet released the names of the people involved in the crash.
Speed and intoxication were believed to be factors in the accident.
