Several people were injured overnight when a man led police on a two-county chase with a pregnant woman and two small children in the back seat of his car.
Channel 2 Action News reported the chase by Austell police ended in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of Thornton and Maxham roads in neighboring Douglas County.
According to the station, police were pursuing a car driven by 30-year-old Jeremiah Mathis.
Georgia State Patrol Trooper James Pyland told Channel 2 that Mathis' pregnant wife and two children were in the car with him when the vehicle struck a Chevrolet Avalanche, causing the Avalanche to overturn.
Four people were taken to local hospitals for treatment of injuries that were not believed to be life threatening.
