YOUNGSTOWN — Troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol chased a suspect into Youngstown Sunday night from Interstate 680, leading an officer with the Youngstown Police Department to monitor the pursuit “from a safe distance” but not “get involved,” according to a Youngstown police report.

The driver eventually crashed head-on into another vehicle on Midlothian Boulevard on the South Side, but no further information was available Monday afternoon.

The incident began in Youngstown at 7:20 p.m. when the Youngstown officer saw a dark green Ford Explorer enter the city, then perform a U-turn on I-680 and travel north on I-680 in the southbound lanes. The suspect vehicle then used I-680 to turn around near the Belle Vista Avenue exit to merge into the correct lanes of travel and continued to the Market Street exit, the report states.

The Youngstown officer then activated lights and siren and monitored the highway patrol’s pursuit of the Ford Explorer, while another Youngstown patrol car “paralleled the pursuit, safely stopping and warning oncoming traffic near the intersections, the Youngstown police report states.

The highway patrol pursuit was lengthy throughout the South Side and took about 25 minutes, the report states. The Ford Explorer “disregarded public safety by traveling through intersections, yards, fences into oncoming lanes of travel and open business lots,” the report states.

The suspect eventually lost control of the stolen vehicle on Midlothian Boulevard, causing it to jump the curb at Burger King and strike another vehicle head-on, the Youngstown report states.

The suspect then fled on foot through the Burger King parking lot. State troopers used a stun weapon and took the suspect into custody shortly after the suspect tried to “hijack” a Youngstown ambulance vehicle and was “assisted to the ground,” the report states.

All Youngstown police officers left the scene with no further involvement in the matter, the report states.

It was not clear Monday afternoon who the suspect was, whether he was charged locally and whether any injuries resulted from the crash.
