Deputies from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and air support from the Ohio State Highway Patrol assisted in the pursuit. Deputies deployed multiple sets of stop sticks, but the truck was able to continue fleeing, according to the spokesperson. On U.S. 35 eastbound at Abbey Avenue, the truck crossed into oncoming traffic traveling westbound and narrowly avoided several head-on collisions. An unmarked Sheriff's vehicle struck the rear driver's side of the truck near James H. McGee Boulevard, but the truck regained control again and continued to flee, driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic. The truck struck another vehicle head-on at I-75 and Dryden Road, causing a six-vehicle crash. As previously reported on News Center 7, the crash closed I-75 in both directions for hours Thursday night. Four individuals from the fleeing truck tried to leave the scene on foot, but they were quickly caught by deputies. All four were taken to the hospital with injuries, as well as several others who were involved in the crash. No injuries have been reported as life-threatening, according to the spokesperson. The suspects may face charges of possession of drugs, aggravated vehicular assault, felony fleeing and eluding, and felonious assault on a peace officer. Ohio State Highway Patrol and Montgomery County deputies will continue to investigate. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
