HOOVER — Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) are investigating a chase from Tuscaloosa County to Jefferson County.
The chase began around 2:55 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 8, 2021. A trooper with ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a stolen taxi cab on Interstate 59 North.
The driver refused to stop and continued onto Interstate 459 North, towards Hoover. When the cab got to the 10-mile marker, the driver exited the interstate and turned onto Alabama 150.
“Before coming to rest, the driver of the stolen taxi struck two Trooper patrol vehicles,” said Justin O’Neal with ALEA.
The pursuit came to an end on Alabama 150, at Galleria Boulevard. The driver was taken into custody.
