A pursuit that began late Thursday night in Todd County ended in Hopkinsville with a crash and arrest.
Kentucky State Police notified the Todd County Sheriff’s Office of a pursuit on KY 181 north of Elkton about 11 p.m. and Deputy Jonathan Knight responded, but was unable to get spike strips down in time due to the high speed of the vehicle.
He then joined the pursuit as the suspect, 39-year old James Crick of Greenville, turned right onto US 68 toward Hopkinsville.
The Christian County Sheriff’s Office successfully deployed spike strips at US 68 and the Bypass and Crick eventually lost control of his sportscar in the area of Western Hills Golf Course and struck a utility pole head on.
Crick was arrested by Kentucky State Police and charged with multiple counts of felony wanton endangerment, fleeing or evading police, DUI and several traffic violations.
