A 20-year-old man is in critical condition after crashing his car into a tree while on the run from Greece Police early Sunday.
The GPD says an officer tried to stop a vehicle on West Ridge Road by the 390 ramps. The driver appeared to be pulling over, but then hit the gas and fled northbound onto 390. After a short distance, the car pulled off onto Vintage Lane but struck a tree at the corner.
The car caught fire and the driver was trapped inside. Police were able to put the fire out with an extinguisher and free the driver, who was unconscious. Nobody else was in the car.
Police say 20-year-old Jimmy Montgomery was taken to the hospital.
