Bay area briefsBy Times staff writer © St. Petersburg Times, published May 26, 2000 Car chased by deputy crashesTwo women were flown to a Tampa hospital late Thursday after their car crashed in a chase with a Hernando County sheriff's deputy on Interstate 75, just south of the Pasco County line. Hernando sheriff's Lt. Marc Rivenbark said the wreck happened about 8:45 p.m. after two shoplifting suspects were making off with a large amount of clothes from a department store west of Brooksville. A deputy reported them driving recklessly on Wiscon Road and chased them onto State Road 50. Another deputy who was on SR 50 trying to clear traffic wrecked his patrol cruiser and suffered minor injuries. The chase continued to the interstate, where the women's car crashed into the median. According to Pasco County Fire-Rescue, the women were flown to St. Joseph's Hospital about 9:30 p.m. and were being treated for trauma injuries. Their identities were not available Thursday.
