DeKalb County, GA (October 22, 2024) – A chaotic police chase ended in a serious crash on Monday afternoon, resulting in multiple injuries. The incident unfolded shortly after 4 p.m. when Georgia State Patrol (GSP) troopers were patrolling Candler Road and observed a gray Chevy Camaro speeding northbound with a loud exhaust.

According to GSP, when authorities attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the driver of the Camaro refused to pull over, leading to a high-speed pursuit. The driver is accused of reckless driving and making evasive maneuvers, endangering others in an effort to evade capture.

As the pursuit continued south on Columbia Drive, the Camaro collided with a black Nissan Sentra traveling northbound. The impact forced the Nissan off the roadway, causing it to overturn and come to rest on its roof after striking a tree.

Emergency responders arrived promptly at the scene. The driver and passenger of the Nissan were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Camaro also sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital for medical care.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and authorities are working to gather more details about the events leading up to the collision.
