A high-speed chase in Lincoln County ended with the arrest of a Charlotte 21-year-old after he crashed into another vehicle on Friday evening.
Kevin Alexander Villanueva Fuentes was driving a 2011 Honda Civic at 107 mph in a 60-mph zone on NC Highway 16 near NC Highway 150 when the NC State Highway Patrol attempted to stop him for speeding.
Fuentes did not stop, leading to a vehicle chase that ended when he lost control and struck a Ford F-150 on Optimist Club Road. The driver of the Ford F-150 was not injured, officials said.
