A Monroe County man is facing charges after he led police on a high-speed chase with his daughter not properly secured, and crashed his truck.

State police at Lehighton said the incident began at 2:18 p.m. on Wednesday along Silver Spring Boulevard in Eldred Township.

Troopers said they attempted to stop a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado truck for traffic violations. The driver failed to yield to emergency equipment. A pursuit began with speeds exceeding 100 mph as the driver passed multiple vehicles. The driver eventually failed to negotiate a left turn onto Bollinger Road and crashed into an embankment.

The driver, identified as August Harsch, 29, of Saylorsburg, was taken into custody without further incident. Harsch’s 3-year-old daughter from Palmerton was in the front seat and not properly secured in a child safety seat.

Harsch was charged with felony counts of fleeing or attempting to elude police and endangering the welfare of a child, and counts of driving under the influence, driving with suspended license - DUI related, driving with no insurance and multiple other traffic violations. He was arraigned on the charges and committed to the county prison in Snydersville. He has since been released from the prison.
