BOONE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A police chase ended with a crash, sending two people to the hospital early Sunday morning.

State Police say that the driver of an S-10 Pick-up truck pulled out in front of Trooper Kevin Harper. The trooper noticed that the driver, Jeff Micheal, continued to drive recklessly through Madison.

Trooper Harper turned on his lights to pull over Michael, but he continued driving. That's when the chase started.

When they made it to Danville, Micheal crashed through someone's backyard.

Micheal was taken by helicopter to the hospital with serious injuries. A woman riding in the car was also taken to the hospital.

There's no word on their conditions at this time.

Troopers believe alcohol played a role in the crash.

people do some strange this when they panic, a 75 year old woman ran from the cops & when they did get her to pull over, she said that the reason she didn't stop was because she had seen cops beat people on t-v so many times, she was scared to pull over. what does this tell you about the cops ?

You tell him Sam, Anonymous is an idiot. What kind of name is that? Armenian? I say let em run, the cops have better things to do than to drive fast all over WV chasing purse snatchers.
