Man hurt in crash allegedly fled police

2/9/2009

A man was transported to Toledo Hospital for serious but nonlife-threatening injuries after he crashed his vehicle into a tree while being chased by police last night.

Marlon Flowers, who was driving a silver 2000 Plymouth Breeze, allegedly fled when officers tried to stop him near the 500 block of Palmwood Avenue. The pursuit ended at Tecumseh Street and Detroit Avenue when Mr. Flowers' car struck another car on Detroit, lost control, and crashed into a tree.

Mr. Flowers was the only person listed as injured in the incident report. He was pursued because police believe he may have been a part of a drug deal occurring on Palmwood.
