LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A man was arrested Thursday night after leading police on a chase that crossed the Ohio River from Clarksville, Indiana, to Louisville.
Clarksville police attempted to stop a vehicle around 9 p.m., suspecting it was involved in another crime, Chief Nathan Walls said. The driver fled, trying to hit officers, but hit a police cruiser.
The pursuit continued across the river into Louisville, ending in a crash on the St. Catherine exit off Interstate 65 South. I-65 South at the exit was closed for a short time while the crash was cleared.
The suspect exited the vehicle carrying an AK-style rifle and ran from officers but was quickly apprehended. Walls said no shots were fired.
The man sustained injuries from the crash and was arrested.
