BALLPLAYER KILLED IN POLICE CHASE

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 12 (UPI) - A baseball player from Bluefield
State College in West Virginia died this morning when a school van was
hit by a car during a police chase in Tallahassee.

The van - one of three Bluefield vehicles nearing Tallahassee before
sunrise - was struck by a car driven by drug suspect Albert Lee Williams.

Police had been chasing Williams at speeds up to 85 mph when his car
hit the van at an Interstate 10 interchange.

Freshman Shannon Stewart died of his injuries at Tallahassee Memorial
Hospital. Another student is listed in stable condition.

The Bluefield College baseball team was en route to the capital to
play a weekend series against Florida A&M University.

Officials say 28 bags of cocaine were found in Williams' car. He's
been charged with second-degree murder.
