At the site of the collision, the Nissan Rogue remained in the roadway with disabling front end damage. Two occupants fled on foot in the direction of Sam’s Food Mart at 518 Norwich Road, where they entered the tree line.
The Nissan Rogue was confirmed to be the one reported stolen out of Charlotte Drive.
