PARKE COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO) — One person died in a crash following a police pursuit Friday night.
According to a report from the Parke County Sheriff’s Department, 31-year-old Stephen David Kellams of Terre Haute died after he lost control of his 2015 black Harley-Davidson motorcycle and hit a guardrail.
