(Michigan City, IN) - A driver fleeing police in Michigan City yesterday was seriously hurt in a crash.

 

Police said officers were called to the 1200 block of Elston St. on a shots fired complaint, but the suspect was gone when they showed up.

The suspect was later located in a vehicle, though, in the area of Broadway and Fairfield.

The investigation was turned over to Indiana State Police at the request of the Michigan City Police Department.
