Driver Crashes Only Seconds After Being Chased By Officer

A driver possibly attempting to elude a City Of Fond du Lac Police Officer this morning didn’t get too far as they crashed into a power pole only a couple blocks into the chase.

At around 4 AM, an officer called out to dispatch that a vehicle driving on Division Street was failing to stop for them.

Seconds later the officer advised that the vehicle crashed into a power pole and that wires were hanging. The crash occurred on Division Street just west of Park Avenue.

A page for an ambulance to come to the scene stated the person may have also been tazed.

After being evaluated by EMS, the driver was brought to SSM St Agnes Hospital by an officer to get a blood draw to check to see if the driver was under the influence.

Alliant Energy was called to the scene to repair the pole and wires that were damaged in the crash.
