A morning chase in Memphis ended with a crash Monday, sending an MPD officer to the hospital while four people were detained. The initial details remain limited, with authorities yet to publicly explain what sparked the pursuit or whether anyone will face charges.
According to Local Memphis, the chase happened Monday morning and was followed by a crash that injured an MPD officer. Four people were detained after the wreck, but the report did not identify them or provide an update on the officer’s condition.
Another Memphis Pursuit Recently Ended In A Wreck
The incident also follows another recent Memphis chase that ended in a crash. In July, a pursuit in Whitehaven ended near Winchester Road and Millbranch Road, where three suspects were taken into custody after the fleeing vehicle crashed, according to Hoodline.
In that earlier case, police said the pursuit began after officers spotted a vehicle with heavy front-end damage that was connected to prior theft reports and an aggravated assault investigation. Monday’s crash appears to be a separate incident, and no connection between the cases has been reported.
Names And Charges Have Not Been Released
Being detained does not necessarily mean charges have been filed. As of the initial report, the circumstances leading to Monday’s chase, the exact crash location, the identities of the four detainees and the officer’s injuries remained unclear.
