Durham Sheriff's Office Investigation

The Durham County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) said they received a call for service just before 6:30 p.m. about multiple shots fired on Ball Road. The caller gave descriptions of the vehicles. The responding deputy saw the cars that fit the description in a parking lot of a convenience store.

As the deputy drove into the parking lot, the drivers of each of the cars left driving at a high rate of speed. The deputy activated the lights and siren in an attempt to stop the driver in the Black Infiniti but lost sight of the car. The sheriff's office says the deputy later saw the car at the accident scene.

The driver of the white Audi is still at large. Anyone with information should contact the Durham County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division at 919-560-0880.

Authorities have not released how many people were involved in the crash.
