Medford, Ore. — A scene out of Los Angeles played out in Medford after a driver lead police on a chase, narrowly missing cars before crashing.
NBC5 News caught the chase on our Rogue Valley Manor Cam.
Much of the chase happened on southbound Interstate 5 about 4:00 Monday afternoon.
At this point, we don’t know where it started, or why the driver was trying to ditch officers.
The chase ended near the Phoenix Interchange when the car suddenly veered off, racing across every lane of the freeway.
The car finally stopped in a field behind the Lazy Boy store.
According to Jackson County Fire District 5, the driver was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. There were no other injuries.
