PERRYSBURG, Ohio — A high-speed chase south of Toledo led to the arrest of two people in downtown Perrysburg on Saturday afternoon.
Rossford police say the chase started in Rossford when the driver of a purple Dodge Charger sports car ran a red light and failed to stop for officers just after 4 p.m.
Police say the pursuit made its way onto I-75 south, where Perrysburg police joined the chase, and then onto US 20 in Perrysburg.
The chase ended on Elm St. near St. Rose Catholic Church and the boat docks in downtown Perrysburg, where a witness says the Charger crashed after flying through the intersection at E. Front St. and Elm St.
Police say after the crash, two people tried to escape from the vehicle on foot.
After a brief search however, both of the unnamed suspects were arrested.
It’s unclear at this time what led the suspects to run from police.
