JAMESTOWN – A police chase through the city’s southside resulted in a two-vehicle accident with the driver who was allegedly fled from police being sent to an Erie hospital.
According to a report from the Jamestown Police Department, officers attempted to pull over a vehicle on Washington St. traveling at a high rate of speed and with an inadequate exhaust just after 9 p.m. Monday. The suspect refused to pull over and a chase through the southside began, lasting more than 15 minutes. The chase ended only after the vehicle crashed into a pickup truck at the corner of Douglas Place and Foote Avenue.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as 24 year-old Bryan Bobe of Jamestown. After being sent to WCA Hospital with unknown injuries, he was then taken to Hamot Medical Center in Erie. The driver of the pickup truck was reportedly not injured.
Upon his release from hospital, Bobe will be charged with third-degree unlawful fleeing of a police officer in a motor vehicle, two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and other multiple vehicle and traffic violations.
The Jamestown Police were assisted by the New York State Police, Lakewood-Busti Police, Ellicott Police and the Chautauqua County Accident Reconstruction Team.
