Hamilton kept running after the crash. Lewis was arrested and eventually released.

The two were then taken into custody in Chadbourn. Police aren’t sure how they ended up in that area, but Channel 9 contacted Chadbourn Police to learn what led to their arrest and if they’ll be extradited to Gaston County.
