HARWOOD, Md. — A Monday morning police chase ends in tragedy.

It all started overnight in Calvert County, when deputies received reports of cars being broken into near Huntingtown.

Around 5:30am police spotted a car believed to be involved. They tried pulling the driver over, but they fled.

Deputies Wyatt McDowell and Michael Lewis gave chase, leading to a 25 minute pursuit through Anne Arundel County that reached speeds of 120 mph. The entire chase was captured on body-worn camera.

The getaway car ended up crashing into a pickup truck at Birdsville and Solomons Island Roads in Harwood.

Three people were inside the car at the time, including a young girl in the front passenger's seat who later died.

The pickup truck driver sustained non-life threatening injuries.

It's unclear if police linked the trio to the initial break-ins.

The Maryland Attorney General's Office is investigating the deputies actions.
