HANCOCK COUNTY — A police chase related to an incident where an officer was injured resulted in a crash Tuesday morning in Hancock County, according to state police.
Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine said the driver who ran away from officers was injured in the crash near Davis Street and South Morristown Pike. The crash happened around 7:30 a.m.
The driver, a man, didn't stop at a four-way stop on Morristown Pike, lost control of the vehicle, left the road and struck a utility pole and several trees.

Officers in Hancock County tried to pull the driver over in Greenfield after he was involved in another incident in Anderson where an officer was injured, Perrine said. Anderson Police Department officers initially found the vehicle at a hotel because it was reported as stolen.
According to the Anderson Police Department the incident began in the 2200 block of E. 59th St. after they received a tip about a stolen vehicle from Muncie being in their area. Officers made contact with the suspect who jumped into the vehicle and attempted to flee the scene. As the driver was fleeing the scene an officer was thrown from the vehicle. The officer was taken to the hospital to be treated for unknown injuries.
Anderson Police alerted Indiana State Police to the incident and they spotted the vehicle in Hancock County and attempted to stop him. The driver then led state police on a pursuit which ended in a crash. The driver was taken to an Indianapolis hospital in critical condition, Perrine said.
Indiana State Police troopers closed the road while they did a full reconstruction crash investigation, Perrine said.
