ROCKVILLE, Md. — The Maryland Attorney General's Office released camera footage from a May 20 deadly police chase in Rockville.

That day Montgomery County Police were called for an unresponsive person sitting inside a vehicle on Rockledge Drive.

When officers got on scene they noticed the driver with a gun in his lap.

As officers surrounded the vehicle and tried getting the driver's attention, he fled onto I-270.

Police can be heard in the video saying the driver is impaired and armed with a gun.

After giving chase for approximately two-minutes, the car crashed against a jersey wall just south of Route 28.

The driver, 37-year-old Lawrence White, of Washington, D.C., was thrown from the car and died on scene.

White also struck another car during the chase, leaving two people with minor injuries.

The four officers involved have been identified as sergeant Brett Trahan, a 29-year veteran of the force; and officers Kyle Baxter, Jonathan Johnson and Quinton Bowles.
