Video footage has been released of a deadly high speed police chase in Cecil County on New Year's Eve.

Maryland State Police were initially alerted about someone driving erratically on I-95.

Trooper Curtis Manuel spotted the driver, identified as 26-year-old Julie Clark, traveling at a high rate of speed.

The pursuit lasted about nine-minutes before Clark crashed into a tree off the 279 exit ramp towards Elkton.

Police dash-cam video shows speeds exceeding 120mph leading up to the crash.

Manuel can be heard on a body-worn camera saying the car was on fire.

Although unable to rescue the driver, Manuel is seen grabbing a fire extinguisher in an attempt to put out the flames.

Clark later died. It's unclear why she fled.
