Stolen Vehicle Suspect Seriously Injured in Calera Police Chase

A suspect in a stolen vehicle, who had an alarming record of 38 prior arrests, has sustained serious injuries as a result of a police chase in Calera, according to authorities.

The incident unfolded when a patrol officer on Highway 16 spotted the stolen vehicle and decided to initiate a traffic stop. However, the suspect, described as a male from Montevallo, chose to evade the officer’s attempt and ended up colliding with another vehicle, as reported by Calera Police Chief David Hyche.

The suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, suffered severe injuries, while the driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries.

In addition to the shocking number of prior arrests, including charges related to attempting to elude, the suspect also had outstanding warrants from four separate jurisdictions, as confirmed by the police.

Authorities discovered that the stolen vehicle had been taken from Chilton County towards the end of last month.

Further investigation led to the recovery of a stolen tag and narcotics inside the vehicle, according to police sources.

Calera Police Chief David Hyche commented on the incident, stating, “This individual made the choice to drive through Calera in a stolen vehicle while having warrants from 4 other agencies. He chose to endanger citizens, himself, and our officers. He will be facing a multitude of charges, including the new Alabama FELONY attempting to elude charge.”

Hyche added, “Criminal justice reform is needed, but not the type we normally hear about. Until we have real, swift, and consistent enforcement and consequences for crime, we will keep arresting the same people over and over.”
