Just minutes after midnight Tuesday morning, RFD rescue, EMS & assisting agencies responded to an MVA rollover with entrapment of the
occupant(s) in a vehicle involved in a chase on Calhoun Rd just north of Rush Chapel Rd in N Floyd. An FCPD unit was damaged in the pursuit as
well. As seen in the video above, an oncoming driver was forced off the road in a near-miss head-on collision. The extent of injuries, if any,
were not immediately known.
MEDIA RELEASE: Investigators are seeking information about a vehicle who was targeted by a man who was running from police Tuesday morning.
The pursuit occurred on Calhoun Rd when a man fled from police on foot & stole a car at a gas station within the city of Rome. The man was
