CARY, N.C. — A Wake County deputy is reflecting on the moments before a pursuit ended in a crash on U.S. Highway 1 in Cary earlier this week.
Ending the pursuit Wednesday night on U.S. 1 was a matter of public safety, according to Major Jimmy Byrd.
“His speed was well in excess of 100,” Byrd said of the driver.
