Pioneer Village Police Chief DJ Reynolds said officers from his agency assisted, and that, at times, the stolen Mercury Mountaineer was traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph. The man who was driving was the only person inside, Reynolds said.
Eventually, police said the suspect drove across the border into Nelson County and took the Boston exit. At that point, the responding officers terminated the pursuit and notified police in Nelson County.
The suspect then crashed his vehicle into a home on Highway 61 and ran away from the scene, officers said.
"The vehicle had hit a house on 61 — coming up on 62 — in Boston," Shepherdsville Police Assistant Chief Jason Pauley said. "The subject fled on foot."
Angela Clark rents the house that the stolen SUV crashed into. She said the front of the car was inside her living room.
Luckily, no one was inside at the time.
"I was a nervous wreck," Clark said about finding out what had happened. "Shaking, scared, didn't know what to do."
Clark was at work in Bardstown at the time of the incident. She said she watched the whole crash play out on her security camera.
"My camera went off," she said. "I checked it out and seen the vehicle in my front door. It's kind of devastating. I don't even know where to start."
The suspect remains on the loose at this time. Shepherdsville Police said officers will likely seek a warrant for the suspect's arrest once the identity is confirmed.
