Описание: MORE: https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local...

The names of the four involved in the police pursuit, which led to a six-vehicle accident on Thursday evening, have been announced.

As previously covered, police attempted to perform a traffic stop on a white GMC Sierra; when the driver would not stop, the chase turned into a situation involving multiple agencies on Interstate 75.

The driver, James Collins, 46, was reportedly driving south in the northbound lanes while trying to get away from law enforcement.

During the wrong-way pursuit, Collins hit a 2009 Ford Taurus head-on, according to troopers. Then, Collins was said to have gone on to crash into a 2014 Dodge Challenger.

After striking those cars, troopers said that a 2010 Cadillac SRX crashed into the Ford, which was initially hit by the wrong-way, getaway driver.

Troopers said that the Cadillac then crashed into a highway barrier.

Two additional cars, a northbound 2021 Toyota RAV4 and a northbound 2014 Jeep Compass, were hit by tires and debris from the other collisions.

Collins and his three passengers, Candra Lakes, 37; Zaquan Farley, 40; and Thomas Downey, 49, were all taken to local hospitals for minor injuries and later taken into custody.

The OSHP provided overhead footage of the pursuit leading to the multiple crashes on I-75.
