ATLANTA — Police and state troopers are searching for a suspect who ran from authorities Thursday evening.

The Georgia State Patrol said they were involved in a chase after a trooper tried to stop a 2006 Hyundai Sonata for making erratic lane changes on I-285 North at I-20 East in Fulton County. When the driver didn't stop, a pursuit unfolded heading east on I-20.

The GSP said the chase continued on the interstate and exited at Boulevard, with the driver passing stopped traffic along the ramp. The driver then turned left onto Boulevard hitting the front end of a GSP patrol vehicle that was standing by in the intersection, authorities said.

However, the collision didn't stop the driver. The GSP said the pursuit continued north on Boulevard to Carroll Street where the vehicle hit a utility pole and a parked vehicle.

After the crash, authorities said the driver took off on foot.

Atlanta Police told 11Alive they were called to the 200 block of Carroll Street to assist state troopers who were looking for the suspect who left the scene.

The GSP said APD also came with their K-9 units to help them search the area. However, they were not able to find the escaping person.

Authorities said that since power lines were down after the crash, Georgia Power was notified and came to the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
