An Ohio driver led police on a 120 mph chase before causing a serious crash and going to jail.

Most people are well aware that high-speed chases are dangerous for everyone on the road. They cause several car accidents each year and a great deal of property damage. However, they are sometimes necessary when a driver attempts to evade a traffic arrest. Unfortunately, this happened recently in Ohio, and the driver behind the wheel reached ultra-dangerous speeds and ended up in jail.

Not only did he evade a traffic stop, but he put everyone on the road at risk.

There are many reasons why police could pull over a driver to stop traffic. In fact, millions of people have these encounters with police annually. According Local 12 NewsAn officer in Franklin, Ohio, was recently on patrol when he noticed a car with a fictitious registration passing by. Of course, this warrants an interaction with the police, so the officer turned on his lights and turned on his siren, but the driver fled.

Naturally, the cop chased the driver and continued trying to make a traffic stop. However, the person behind the wheel soon accelerated to about 200 kilometers per hour, which is not safe. This is demonstrated by the fact that the man ended up crashing into a pole. Things didn’t end there, however, as he attempted to escape on foot before being caught by police.

Police were able to identify the driver after the traffic stop. Of course, he faces multiple charges. They include failure to comply, obstruction of official business, flight and reckless operation. The man is also charged with speeding, particularly because he went more than 30 miles per hour over the speed limit.

Of course, no one wants to get in trouble with the law. However, evading traffic stops never ends well. In addition, causing high-speed chases is also dangerous and can easily lead to car accidents. It is always better to face the music and keep security for everyone along the way. Of course, it also helps to avoid using fake car tags.
