GENEVA COUNTY: High speed pursuit apparently beginning in Geneva city limits at around 0130.
Geneva PD attempted to stop a gold Saturn with 3 occupants. The vehicle fled, leading the officer in a pursuit up Hwy 27 north, then east onto Goose Hollow Rd (Geneva County Road 8) and continued fleeing, reaching speeds of 135+ mph.
The pursuit ended when the vehicle approached the dead end into Geneva County Road 65 where the driver lost control and proceeded across Geneva CR 65, at which time the vehicle turned on its side and continued well into the woods and into several trees.
The driver was apprehended and placed in custody of the Geneva County Sheriff patrol on the scene. The other passengers were transported to local hospitals via ambulance to be treated for injuries sustained.
Also on the scene were Alabama State Troopers, Samson Rescue, Samson Fire Dept, and Coffee Springs VFD. Investigation is underway and more will be revealed as the story unfolds.
