YORK COUNTY, Pa. — A York man was arrested Saturday evening in West Manchester Township after police say he led officers on a high-speed chase and crashed his vehicle with his two young children in the back seat.
Dashan Andino, 29, was passing motorists on the opposite side of the roadway when he crashed into an oncoming vehicle, almost head-on, at the intersection of Carlisle Road and Locust Lane, according to police. He fled on foot after the crash — leaving two children in the vehicle — and was apprehended a short distance away from the scene. The children and driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash were not injured, police note.
The vehicle pursuit began around 5:20 p.m., just minutes after the children’s mother called 911 from the Royal Farms on Carlisle Road in Dover Township to report that Andino had held a knife to her neck, demanding money, prior to their arrival, police allege. She also advised that their two children were in the vehicle that was parked in the lot.
