“Unlawful Flight from Pursuing Law Enforcement Vehicle” (Felony Flight) occurs when a person willfully attempts to flee or elude a pursuing law enforcement vehicle that is being driven with at least one of its lights on, or while the siren is activated.

If the person is fleeing from police (even if just for a minor traffic ticket), and they subsequently cause an accident which involves the death of another person, it is possible to be charged with Capital First-Degree Murder and potentially face the death penalty. However, this scenario does not normally occur, and persons are usually charged with a class five (5) felony if their case does not involve a subsequent accident that causes a death.
