Hwy 42 is now open for free flowing traffic.
Sheriff Deputies while conducting a surveillance observed two vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed while one was traveling on the wrong side of the road. An innocent vehicle was ran off the roadway as a result and Deputies then gave chase. The vehicle was pursued until the suspect ran off of the roadway and the vehicle burst into flames. Deputies rescued the driver suspect who is now at a local hospital. The suspect had several keys on him from the Fiat Dealership on Southlake Pkwy and the vehicle is believed to be one of the stolen vehicles. An investigation is now underway to apprehend all suspects involved.
As soon as the suspect is released by doctors, he will be transported to Georgia's toughest para-military jail where he will face the wall.
