Three men from Venezuela accused of running from police after a crash in Richmond are facing charges.

The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office says police were pursuing a vehicle overnight Wednesday morning on I-295 when it went off the road.

Three men ran off in different directions and were all located and taken into custody later that morning.
