A man driving on Grange Hall Road witnessed the crash that ended a wrong-way pursuit on U.S. 35 in Beavercreek Wednesday morning.

“I saw this black vehicle flying over the overpass. Literally it fell out of the air,” said Jason Saldana, of Springboro. “Once he was in the guardrail the officers came over and started beating out the back window.”

Saldana described the conclusion of the chase as “crazy” and said the two people inside were hurt.
