A high-speed chase that started down Ga. 400 early Friday ended when the suspect’s vehicle crashed on the Downtown Connector.
State troopers performed two PIT maneuvers to forcibly immobilize the speeding black Nissan Altima, according to the Georgia State Patrol. After the second, the Altima spun out to the west side of the Connector after 14th Street and hit a cement wall.
The driver, Norris Glass, was removed by pursuing officers. A passenger, Brandon King, surrendered, a GSP spokesman said. No officers or bystanders were injured.
The GSP was called to assist Doraville police in the pursuit about 2:20 a.m. Doraville officers tried unsuccessfully to pull the Altima over on suspicion of reckless driving, racing and driving impaired.
GSP joined in the chase at Lenox Road and Ga. 400, troopers said.
The pursuit traveled south on Ga. 400 and onto I-75/I-85 South, where
"the suspect was driving erratic and at high speeds," according to the GSP.
Troopers reportedly located suspected marijuana and alcohol in the car.
Glass was arrested on charges of DUI and fleeing and attempting to elude police. He refused a DUI field test and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital after he complained of injuries, according to the GSP.
No injuries were visible.
His passenger refused medical treatment.
