On January 21, at approximately 2231 hours South Heidelberg Police were dispatched to a possible shooting in their jurisdiction.  As officers approached the scene they observed a red Lexus flee the area at a high rate of speed.  One officer attempted to catch up to the fleeing vehicle as it drove through Sinking Spring and Spring Township in excess of 100 miles per hour.  The vehicle was disregarding all traffic signals and was not slowing down as it went through intersections.

 As the vehicle approached State Hill Road and Penn Avenue it crossed the double yellow line into the oncoming traffic lane when it struck another vehicle in the intersection.  The driver of the red Lexus was found to have a gunshot wound to the abdomen from the South Heidelberg shooting incident.  He was taken to the hospital for treatment along with the two occupants of the other vehicle he struck.  Additionally, he was found to have caused another accident as he was driving in an unsafe manner at another intersection.
