A 4-month-old boy has died after a driver who was allegedly fleeing from police in Wilmington, Delaware, crashed early Tuesday morning. Three other people, including a 10-year-old girl, were also injured.

The Wilmington Police Department said officers pulled over a driver wanted for alleged crimes around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday on Interstate-95.

The driver sped off as officers approached his vehicle, taking the I-95 Marsh Road exit toward the area of Marsh and Edgemoor roads and crashed, according to police. The impact destroyed a section of a fence and brick columns.

Police said the vehicle had four people inside. The 33-year-old driver was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

A 4-month-old boy, who police said was not restrained, was rushed to the hospital and later died. Police later identified the baby as Maurice Brown Jr. A 32-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl were also taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Police said the driver is expected to face criminal charges in the death of the 4-month-old boy and the pursuit.

"What I can say today is that this was a horrifying, senseless tragedy that once again underscores the unacceptable and lethal danger of fleeing the police. A 4-month-old baby is dead today," Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said in a statement. "Nothing could have justified putting his life at risk — and whatever consequences the driver now faces pale in comparison to the price this child paid by no choice of his own."

"I'm always deeply saddened to learn that a life has been lost, especially the life of a baby," Wilmington Mayor John Carney said in a statement. "My heart goes out to the family and to our entire community sharing in their grief. When events like this occur, it touches everyone."

John Townsend says he was at work in his Wilmington auto-repair shop around 1:15 a.m. when his cameras picked up a police chase.

"The speed they were going — had to be at least 80 mph," Townsend said. "It went by my cameras so quick. It just barely picked it up. … When I looked at it, bad, bad accident. The car was in pieces. The car was in pieces."
