Two Wisconsin teenagers are facing serious criminal charges after a high-speed police chase ended in a deadly crash that killed a mother and her two sons. Authorities say the suspects intentionally crashed into the family’s vehicle in an attempt to stop the pursuit.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime, 17-year-old Dashauna Egerson and 19-year-old Trevon Loston were fleeing police in a stolen Dodge Journey when they ran a red light and slammed into a gray Mazda sedan carrying 50-year-old Pler Moo and her sons, Moo Nay Taw, 21, and Kar Lah Kri Moo, 15. All three died in the crash.
Two other passengers in the Mazda were injured, including a 12-year-old who had to be intubated due to severe injuries.
Egerson has been charged with three counts of second-degree reckless homicide, fleeing police, and driving without a license. Loston faces charges including possession of a firearm by a delinquent, operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent, and bail jumping.
Police say the Dodge SUV had been reported stolen in Indiana and was seen driving around Milwaukee without plates. Officers attempted to pull the vehicle over, but it sped off, reaching speeds up to 80 mph during the 1.4-mile chase.
The crash occurred at the intersection of 35th and Vliet Street when the Dodge ran a red light and hit the Mazda, which was traveling through a green light. The impact caused significant damage to both vehicles.
Egerson was pulled from the wreckage and reportedly shouted, “Who did I hit?” multiple times. Police initially found her in the driver’s seat, but she claimed Loston had been driving and she was just a passenger. Loston, however, told officers that Egerson was driving during the crash, although he admitted to “guiding” her during the chase.
Egerson later told police that Loston had threatened her with a gun, forcing her to drive and not stop. Her 16-year-old sister, who was also in the vehicle and seriously injured in the crash, reportedly confirmed this account. The complaint says Loston held a firearm while telling Egerson to keep driving.
Police determined Egerson’s version of events didn’t match physical evidence or her previous statements. She eventually admitted she was the driver and said she crashed the SUV intentionally because she didn’t want to continue the high-speed chase. Data from the SUV’s airbag system reportedly showed she accelerated from 66 to 70 mph just before the crash, with the gas pedal fully pressed.
Egerson also said she didn’t know the vehicle was stolen until police activated their lights, and that she would have pulled over if not for the weapon and the situation.
Records show Egerson has never held a driver’s license. The speed limit on the road where the crash occurred is 30 mph.
If convicted on all charges, Egerson faces up to 170 years in prison. Loston could face nearly 20 years. Both are scheduled to appear in court on September 29.
