Police Pursuit Leads to Car Accident in Garner

A police chase involving both the Garner and Raleigh police departments led to a wreck on eastbound I-40 that closed the freeway for a short period of time. The Raleigh police department originally began their pursuit of a vehicle after confirming that the driver had outstanding warrants for multiple citations, including speeding and driving on a revoked license. Once the vehicle of the suspect was approached, he began to flee the scene with an officer pinned to the side of his vehicle. Fortunately, the officer was able to free himself and avoid serious injury. After the pursuit began, Raleigh police backed off and let Garner police pick up the chase, which ended when the suspect's vehicle had a tire blowout. The suspect was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Reports show that no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
