SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. — A teen driver is in custody and a passenger is still on the run after a police pursuit that spanned multiple counties and agencies in South Carolina. Investigators said that the incident arose out of another in Sumter County when authorities received a report of a dark Hyundai Santa Fe driving down Brabham Road slowly. The report stated that the passenger was looking into vehicles parked in yards there. The caller was also able to get the license plate number which was out of Kingstree, South Carolina, a detail that later helped deputies spot the vehicle as it was headed east toward I-95.
