Three people -- the driver of a stolen vehicle, a mother and her infant -- were seriously injured following a crash in Lakeland, Fla., early Tuesday morning.
Before midnight, a Lakeland police officer attempted to pull over a vehicle that was reported stolen out of Lake Hamilton. Police said the Infiniti EX35 SUV was seen heading south on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The officer activated his lights and sirens, but the driver, later identified as 21-year-old Stephen Marra, fled. The officer followed from a "safe distance," officials said.
During the pursuit, a 29-year-old passenger from inside the Infiniti exited by rolling out of the stolen vehicle when it slowed down, police said.
Police said Marra continued heading east on George Jenkins Boulevard, approaching the Sloan Avenue intersection. As the vehicle drove past the intersection, police said Marra crossed over into the westbound lanes while continuing to head east.
