Suspect throws wooden boards from pickup during police pursuit
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ohio (CNN) - A police chase in Ohio on Thursday led to a bizarre attempt to thwart officers before ending in a pile-up.
Authorities attempted to pull over a truck that had no visible registration.
The driver ran away from the scene and the pursuit began.
At one point, deputies deployed “stop sticks,” which deflated the tires, but the truck kept going.
Someone in the truck bed was also throwing wooden boards onto the highway in an attempt to disable or strike the police cars that were following.
The truck eventually went over to the wrong side of the highway, hit another vehicle head-on, and caused a six-vehicle accident.
Four people in the truck then tried to run away but were eventually caught.
The suspect could face charges including drug possession and aggravated vehicular assault.
The other people who were involved in the pile-up were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
