According to CHP on April 27, 2016 around 8:30 PM Wyitt Carroll (36) of Murphys was driving a 2013 Chrysler northbound on Hwy 49 near Copello Drive at a high rate of speed.
An Angels Camp Police Officer was following the Chrysler with emergency lights activated in an attempt to make an enforcement stop.
