DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — Authorities are searching for a driver after troopers say the individual led them on a high-speed chase through Davis County and hit an officer’s car.
Officials with the Utah Highway Patrol told KSL Friday afternoon that a trooper in Davis County attempted to stop an individual who was speeding, but the driver continued on towards the freeway.
After entering the freeway, the driver sped away.
At some point, the driver struck a Layton officer’s vehicle, causing minor damage. That officer also sustained minor injuries, according to UHP.
Troopers and police officers stopped chasing and tried to get a helicopter, but UHP says they were unsuccessful.
The pursuit was eventually terminated at 1300 South.
UHP said they have the license plate number and are actively searching for the suspect.
