GREECE, N.Y. — A 21-year-old is facing charges after Monroe County sheriff’s deputies say he stole a rental car from the Rochester airport and led them on a chase that ended in a crash.
Deputies say they spotted a car driving over 100 miles per hour on I-490 westbound around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Deputies tried to pull the car over on I-390 northbound but say it refused to stop.
The chase ended when the car crashed at the Route 104 exit in Greece. News10NBC’s photojournalist saw several street signs damaged.
