On May 24 in Arkansas, a four-month-old infant survived being ejected from a 2012 Toyota Highlander during a rollover crash that occurred at the end of a high-speed police chase. An Arkansas State Police officer initiated a pursuit after the driver, Tyrice Fletcher, 28, of El Dorado, failed to stop for a ticket violation. The chase reached speeds exceeding 100 mph before the SUV struck a pole and rolled over on the roadside. The infant was thrown from the vehicle during the crash but was located by the trooper, who had been unaware that children were in the car. The other three children in the vehicle were safely removed from the wreckage. All four children were treated for minor injuries and survived the incident. Fletcher has been charged with multiple offenses including endangering the welfare of a minor.
