MEDINA, Ohio -- A Tallmadge woman who died when she crashed her car while fleeing sheriff's deputies had an open whiskey bottle in her car, officials said.

Teresa M. Morris, 38, led officials on a chase reaching speeds upwards of 100 mph, according to Medina County sheriff's Capt. Kenneth Baca. The pursuit began about 11:30 p.m. Monday.

A Medina County sheriff's deputy was checking on Morris's silver 2002 Dodge Neon as it sat stationary on Portside Drive, reports show. Morris was on the phone and had an open bottle of Black Velvet whiskey in between her legs.

As a deputy tried to investigate whether she was intoxicated, she drove off, according to reports.

Two cruisers followed Morris for about five miles until she veered off the west side of South Prospect Street and into a house. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The residents were home at the time, but were not injured.

Officials are not releasing dash cam video of the chase, citing an open investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
