A police chase led to a deadly accident in Houston County over the weekend. It happened in the Wicksburg community on Highway 84, just outside of Dothan.

State troopers say Houston County sheriff's deputies were investigating a suspicious vehicle parked behind a business. That's when the driver sped off.

Authorities say Robert Wills was driving the car, which ultimately crashed. His passenger, 15-year-old Whitney Lake was thrown from the vehicle and killed.

Wills was taken to Flowers Hospital, but was not seriously injured. He is now in the Houston County jail.

The Christian Home Church of Christ in Wicksburg is accepting donations for Lake's family.
