PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria Police say a suspect evaded officers and then slammed into another vehicle, causing significant injuries to one person late Wednesday.
PPD has now released details about the incident from just after 10:15 p.m.
Police say officers first got called to the 800 block of S. Laramie Street on what turned out to be an unfounded report of shots fired in the area.
There, they found a suspect vehicle, which reportedly then sped away and later evaded two attempted traffic stops.
At the intersection of West Lincoln and South Western Avenue, the suspect driver hit another car, causing it to careen off the roadway and into a fire hydrant.
Police say they pulled a male driver from the innocent’s vehicle and rushed him to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Meanwhile, a search for the suspect driver is ongoing.
