3 Airlifted When Police Chase Ends With Collision

A police chase that began in Cherokee County ended in Hokes Bluff Sunday with a car accident that injured three people.
Hokes Bluff Police Chief Mitchell Hill said the chase involved a juvenile suspect who fled a traffic stop in Cherokee County.
"He apparently threw something out of the window and kept going," Hill said. The chase continued into Etowah County. At approximately 3 p.m., the vehicle driven by the juvenile collided with the rear of a pickup truck on County Road 71, Hill said.
The driver of the pickup, a woman with her 11-year-old and 19-year-old daughters, were all injured.
