DETROIT — Metro Detroit MSP was led on a chase after an orange Dodge Charger passed a South Metro trooper at high speeds Tuesday afternoon.
Police say a trooper was sitting on the shoulder of northbound I-75, when the vehicle reaching speeds above 120 mph passed the cruiser.
The trooper witnessed the driver lose control, crashing into a Honda SUV and a garbage truck before fleeing on foot. No one was hurt in the crash.
Hamtramck police were able to locate the suspect and arrest him. A MSP K9 unit conducted a search from the crash and located a Glock pistol with a 50 round drum magazine. It was later determined the Charger had been stolen from Georgia.
Police believe this same vehicle fled from several other incidents this week.
The suspect is currently lodged pending prosecutor review.
