A car trying to flee from police crashed into the center of the traffic circle at approximately 1:30 am Sunday. The white Dodge Charger came into the circle from the 211 entrance and crashed through some trees before finally coming to a stop.

The occupants of the vehicle immediately fled the scene, reportedly 2-3 males and a female. Officers from several agencies converged on the scene and began searching for the suspects.
