Miamisburg, OH (May 15, 2026) – One person was taken to the hospital following a pursuit-related crash on Thursday 14, at the intersection of Linden Avenue and First Street in Miamisburg. Emergency units responded to a high-speed chase that began in Middletown, continued through Franklin, and ended in Miamisburg.
According to officials, a 31-year-old Dayton man driving a Chevrolet sedan allegedly fled from officers before entering the intersection and striking an occupied Subaru. The crash also involved a parked Honda located near a Dollar General store. Witnesses reported the Chevrolet was traveling at a high rate of speed before running a red light and colliding with the Subaru.
The driver of the Subaru was taken to the hospital as a precaution following the collision. After the crash, the suspect reportedly fled on foot and entered a nearby river before being taken into custody. He was later transported to the hospital for evaluation.
Officials said the suspect had an active warrant and was driving without a license at the time of the incident. A female passenger remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Charges are expected in connection with the pursuit and crash. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision, and more details will be released as they become available.

What Is Typically Examined After Pursuit-Related Intersection Crashes?
After crashes connected to police pursuits, investigators often review vehicle speed, traffic signals, and roadway conditions leading up to the collision. Intersections are closely examined because high-speed entries can reduce reaction time for surrounding drivers.
Investigators may also analyze witness statements, surveillance footage, and debris patterns to determine how the vehicles moved through the intersection. These details help establish the sequence of impacts and whether additional property damage occurred after the initial crash.
When a suspect flees on foot after a collision, authorities typically review both the crash scene and the path taken after leaving the vehicle. This helps investigators piece together the full timeline of events.
