The driver initially stopped for the trooper in the area of Ohio 49 and Pleasant Plain Road, just north of I-70, but then fled north, prompting the pursuit, the patrol said.
The pickup truck eluded troopers in West Milton in Miami County when troopers ended their pursuit.
A West Milton Police Department officer spotted the truck shortly thereafter in the area of Jay Road and tried to stop it, the dispatcher said. The driver took off again, but crashed the pickup into trees in the 6900 block of South Jay Street, near the south edge of West Milton.
Troopers arrested the juvenile and determined he was impaired by alcohol, dispatchers said. The teen was taken to an area hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. He later was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
