The background features surveillance footage of the tragic crash allegedly caused by Egerson, who police claim was driving a vehicle stolen by Loston (WITI).

In Wisconsin, two teenagers are accused of causing a deadly accident termed as “fatal fleeing,” which resulted in the death of a mother and her two sons. Authorities allege they were evading police in a stolen Dodge Journey and deliberately crashed into the family’s car to hamper the pursuit.

During her arrest from the wreckage of the Dodge SUV, 17-year-old Dashauna Egerson allegedly exclaimed, “Who the f— did I hit?” Her partner in crime, 19-year-old Trevon Loston, was also in the vehicle, according to the criminal complaint reported by Law&Crime on Monday.

Both Egerson and Loston are facing serious charges linked to the fatalities of Pler Moo, 50, her sons Moo Nay Taw, 21, and Kar Lah Kri Moo, 15, and the injuries of two other passengers, including a 12-year-old who required intubation due to severe head and body injuries, according to police.

Egerson’s charges include three counts each of second-degree reckless homicide, unauthorized driving, and escaping law enforcement; Loston faces charges of possessing a firearm while being a delinquent, using a vehicle illicitly, and violating bail conditions.

The complaint reveals that initially, Egerson and Loston provided differing accounts to the officers. The Dodge, reportedly stolen from Indiana, was seen driving without plates in Milwaukee, leading police to attempt a traffic stop.

“The 2017 Dodge Journey did not stop,” the complaint says.

The teens allegedly “disregarded a red stop light” at 35th and Galena and then again in the area of 3500 West Vliet Street, causing a crash with the victims’ gray 2006 Mazda sedan as it was traveling lawfully westbound on Vliet Street through a green light.

“The Journey struck the victim Mazda at a high rate of speed … causing immense damage to both the Mazda and the people inside,” the complaint says, noting how the chase went on for approximately 1.39 miles and reached speeds of 70 and 80 mph.

Officers approached the Dodge after the crash and found Egerson and Loston both inside, with Egerson in the driver’s seat. A 16-year-old, who cops identify as Egerson’s sister, was “trapped in the backseat” and required surgery for multiple injuries, per the complaint.

“They observed a female [Egerson] climb out of the passenger’s side window of the car,” the complaint alleges. “While Officers were attempting to pull people out of both vehicles to render aid … [Egerson] suddenly yelled out, ‘Who did I hit?’ and then ‘who the f— did I hit?’ However, shortly after these two outbursts, [Egerson] told Officer Maglio that she had been a passenger and that Loston had been driving.”

Loston was questioned about what happened and told police that Egerson was initially a passenger but switched seats with him before the crash because he “got tired of driving,” according to cops. “Loston stated that the ‘b—’ (meaning the defendant) was driving during the fatal fleeing from police, but admitted that he was ‘guiding’ her on how to drive during the chase,” the complaint says.

According to Egerson, Loston wasn’t just guiding the teen — he was also threatening her with a gun, which her sister allegedly corroborated.

“[The sister] indicated that while [Egerson] was fleeing from the police, Loston told the defendant to ‘drive’ and also told her ‘don’t stop’ while he had the firearm in his hand, near the middle of his body, and pointed in the direction of the defendant,” the complaint says.

Police later explained to Egerson that her alleged description of what happened and who was driving was inconsistent with how their bodies were found “as well as her own prior statements.” This allegedly led to her admitting that she was behind the wheel.

“[Egerson] admitted that she was the driver of the Journey when it fled from the police, as well as when it crashed,” the complaint says. “She stated that when she began to drive the vehicle, she did not know it was a stolen vehicle, but fled because she found out she was driving a stolen vehicle. She stated that she only learned this fact about the Journey after the police activated their emergency lights.”

Police looked at data from the vehicle’s airbag control module, which allegedly reported an acceleration — from 66 mph to 70 mph — right before Egerson crashed into the victims, per the complaint. The gas pedal was allegedly “fully depressed.”

“[Egerson] stated that she crashed the Journey on purpose so that she would not have to keep speeding,” the complaint concludes. “The defendant stated that Loston was yelling at her to keep going, and her 16 year old sister … was yelling and crying in the back.”

Egerson claimed during police interviews that “the only reason she fled” was because the car was stolen. She stated that if the vehicle had not been stolen and Loston hadn’t pointed a gun at her, she would have pulled over.

Wisconsin Department of Transportation records showed that Egerson does not have a driver’s license and has never been issued one by the state of Wisconsin, according to police. The speed limit on N. 35th Street where the crash happened is 30 mph, the complaint says.

Egerson could face nearly 170 years in prison if convicted on all nine felony charges, according to local radio station WTMJ. Loston, meanwhile, could face nearly 20 years in prison if convicted. They’re both due in court on Sept. 29.
