TOLEDO, Ohio — Police are investigating after a vehicle chase resulted in a suspect crashing in north Toledo early Thursday.
According to a Toledo police report, TPD were pursuing a suspect driving a stolen black GMC Sierra pickup truck on northbound on Cherry Street at approximately 12:25 a.m.. Police claim they attempted to pull over the suspect, but he refused and led police on a short chase down Cherry Street.
The suspect, 40-year-old Samuel Roeber of Findlay, then lost control of the vehicle while trying to negotiate a curve near the roundabouts on Cherry Street and Manhattan Boulevard in north Toledo.
Police claim Roeber drove into the roundabout, traveled over a median island and struck a yield road sign. Roeber then continued to drive northbound into another roundabout, where he struck a metal art structure, which sustained heavy damage in the incident.
Toledo Fire & Rescue transported Roeber to the hospital with what authorities described as life-threatening injuries. Police said they continue to investigate.
