TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police took three people, including a teenager, into custody early Monday morning after a chase that led to a car crashing into a TARTA bus stop shelter and pulling down electrical lines.
According to a police report, crews stopped a vehicle at Byrne and Gibralter Heights in south Toledo at approximately 4 a.m. because it was displaying a stolen license plate number. The vehicle fled and led police on a short pursuit to the intersection of Arlington and Toledo Avenue, which is about two miles from the initial stop.
The vehicle crashed into a TARTA bus stop shelter. All three occupants, a 16-year-old, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old, were taken into custody with charges pending. All three were treated on-scene by Toledo Fire & Rescue for minor injuries they sustained during the crash.
The vehicle also pulled down power lines, to which Toledo Edison responded.
