Prince George County, Virginia (March 26, 2026) – Several people were injured following a multi-state police chase that began in Washington, D.C., and ended with multiple crashes on the Capital Beltway in Virginia early Thursday morning.
Authorities said the incident began just before 10 p.m. on Wednesday near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Forrester Street in Southwest D.C., when officers attempted to stop a white Range Rover. The driver refused to stop and struck a D.C. police officer who was on foot before fleeing the scene.
The officer was transported to a hospital for treatment and later released.
Hours later, around 3:30 a.m., Prince George’s County police located the vehicle and attempted another stop. The driver fled again, leading officers on a high-speed chase across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge into Virginia.
During the pursuit, authorities said the suspect struck another vehicle that had moved to the shoulder to avoid the chase. That driver was taken to a hospital with injuries.
Officials also reported that the suspect crashed into a Virginia State Police vehicle. The trooper sustained minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Titus Mayo of Winterville, North Carolina, was taken into custody following the crash. He was transported to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Mayo faces multiple charges in Virginia, including eluding police, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license. Additional charges may be filed in Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident, and more information will be released as it becomes available. We wish all those injured a full and speedy recovery.
How High-Speed Multi-State Chases Increase Crash Risks
High-speed pursuits that cross multiple jurisdictions can create dangerous conditions for everyone on the road.
As vehicles travel at high speeds and across busy highways, the likelihood of collisions increases, especially when other drivers attempt to move out of the way.
Law enforcement agencies often coordinate during these events, and investigators later review the pursuit timeline, speeds, and actions of those involved to determine contributing factors.
