(Pittsburgh, Pa.) An Aliquippa man who was wanted on multiple warrants led police in a pursuit on the Parkway West last night before crashing in downtown Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania State Police said say that 43-year-old Lee Chavez, of Aliquippa, was speeding when the chase began after Troopers initially attempted to pull him over.
During the chase Chavez was speeding down the ramp on the Parkway and took a corner too hard, hopping the curb, nearly hitting a fire hydrant, and crashing and that’s where the car came to a stop on Fort Duquesne Boulevard.
After the crash, Chavez tried to run into the parking garage underneath Gateway Center and police were able to arrest him after tasering him.
State police say that Chavez did have prior charges including aggravated assault.
Thankfully no one was injured and Chavez was taken to jail.
The chase started because Chavez had expired registration.
