Four people died when a car that was being pursued by an Alabama state trooper went off the road and hit a tree, authorities said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The driver was trying to elude the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s highway patrol on a rural road in southeast Alabama’s Pike County when the crash occurred late Friday night, ALEA spokeswoman Amanda Wasden said in an email.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were driving in a 2022 Hyundai Elantra, CBS affiliate WTVY-TV<\/a> reported. No other vehicles were involved.<\/p>\n

Wasden said the crash was under investigation, and no additional information was available. Her email did not say what prompted the pursuit.<\/p>\n

The driver and two passengers, one of them a 17-year-old, were not wearing seat belts and were thrown from the sedan. The third passenger was not ejected, but all four were pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Authorities identified the driver as 27-year-old Tykevious D. Russaw, of Eufaula, and the passengers as 27-year-old Robert D. Hall and 24-year-old Quamay Richardson, of Clayton, according to CBS affiliate WAKA-TV. The teenage passenger was not identified.<\/p>\n
