LOUISVILLE, Ky. — While a Shively Police Officer attempted to pull a vehicle over, the operator of the vehicle attempted to flee, colliding with several other vehicles, early Tuesday morning.
Aug. 30 at around 1:14 a.m., an officer with the Shively Police Department tried to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle at Dixie Highway and Gagel Avenue, according to a Shively Police press release.
It is not revealed why the traffic stop was being performed at this time.
When the vehicle failed to yield, the officer stopped his attempts to conduct the traffic stop, according to Shively Police.
The operator of the vehicle who evaded the traffic stop later collided into several other vehicles at the intersection of Dixie Highway and Upper Hunters Trace, just a two minute drive from where the officer first made contact.
Four adults were transported to UofL Hospital for what appears to be non-life-threatening injuries, according to a statement by Louisville Metro Police Department.
The operator of the vehicle that caused the collision evading a traffic stop fled on foot and "remains outstanding", according to LMPD.
LMPD is now handling the collision investigation.
