MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A man is now charged in a deadly crash during a police chase on Milwaukee's south side Nov. 1. 

Antwan White, 36, is accused of speeding away from police trying to pull him over, eventually slamming into another car near Layton and Greenfield Avenue. 

The driver of the other car, 18-year-old David Hunt, was killed. Prosecutors say White's passenger was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. 

According to the criminal complaint, White reached speeds of 90 mph during the roughly two-mile pursuit, disregarding more than eight stop signs or red lights. 

Police say they found several bags of powder in the car he was driving that tested positive for fentanyl, and that White admitted to them he sped away because of the drugs. 

He's charged with fleeing/eluding an officer causing death, fleeing/eluding an officer causing great bodily harm, second degree reckless homicide, and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. 

White is currently in jail on a $300,000 cash bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 13.
