Summary: A police pursuit began after officers attempted a traffic stop on a silver sedan, possibly linked to fleeing charges out of Pennsylvania. The pursuit involved multiple occupants and was monitored both on the ground and overhead. The suspect vehicle traveled eastbound toward the freeway, then southbound on I-71, passing several notable locations including Green Lawn, Route 104, and High Street. The pursuit continued onto US-23 south of London Groveport Road, where at least one occupant fled on foot into nearby woods and fields. The Ohio State Patrol (OSP) became involved as the vehicle continued northbound, and it was reported that the suspect vehicle may have blown a tire. The incident posed significant risk to public safety due to the high speeds, evasive maneuvers, and foot pursuit in populated areas.
