The pursuit continued onto Madison Boulevard and the tires were coming off the pickup. Police said the driver continued driving on the rims of the car at a high rate of speed and refused to slow down or stop.

The chase went into Huntsville, eventually stopping at the intersection of Sparkman and Pulaski Pike after the suspect ran a red light and hit two vehicles.
