Deputies pursued the driver and with the assistance of a Canine Deputy and his partner were able to apprehend him.
One of the deputies involved in the collision was transported with non life threatening injuries. Once additional information is available concerning suspect identity, warrants, and mug shots it will be made available to everyone.
