\nA Cave City woman is facing nearly a dozen charges after police pursuit ends with a crash.<\/p>\n
On June 3, just before 3 p.m. a Kentucky State Police trooper attempted to perform a traffic stop on a 2016 GMC Terrain on KY 163 at the Metcalfe\/Monroe County line for speeding.<\/p>\n
The vehicle failed to stop when the trooper activated his emergency equipment, and a pursuit ensued. Another trooper, positioned ahead of the pursuit, deployed a tire deflation device on KY 163 in an attempt to stop the vehicle, which successfully hit a front tire.<\/p>\n
However, the pursuit continued on KY 163 until it reached the Tompkinsville city limits, where the trooper terminated the pursuit.<\/p>\n
While traveling recklessly, the vehicle continued south at a high rate of speed on KY 163 (North Main Street), and the trooper lost sight of it. The Tompkinsville Police Department was notified to observe for the vehicle.<\/p>\n
A short time later, Tompkinsville Police notified Kentucky State Police that the vehicle had been involved in a collision at the intersection of KY 163 and Columbia Avenue near the Valero gas station. Troopers then responded to the area and launched an investigation into the collision.<\/p>\n
The investigation revealed that 36 year-old Amanda Sanchez, of Cave City, had struck two vehicles on Columbia Avenue, causing one of them to strike a third vehicle. Two of the individuals in one vehicle were transported to the hospital with minor injuries and were later released.<\/p>\n
