Despite activating his emergency lights as he tried to catch up to the speeding vehicle, he never got close enough, and so the pursuit was terminated.

A short time later, the same deputy came across a single-vehicle crash in the 1800 block of Federal Road in Livermore.

Investigators with the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office determined that the blue Audi Q5 4-door had left the roadway and collided with a mailbox before clipping a utility pole. The vehicle became airborne and struck a second utility pole, causing the pole to break and wires to fall across Federal Road. The vehicle then came to rest after striking a tree.

The two occupants of the vehicle were ejected and died at the scene.
