Video shows multiple police cars along West Hillcrest Avenue.
“It was crazy. It was literally right out front,” Marisa Scott said. “I really had thought somebody hit my car because when it first happened, I didn’t know what was going on, so I came outside.”
Scott shared a video of the scene she saw outside her front door.
It shows multiple deputies blocking off the road and a vehicle upside down.
“The car had like, flipped over and turned a couple of times down there. It was smoking. They had to bust the window to get him out and all of that. So the whole street was filled up with police and ambulance, just all types of crazy,” Scott said.
She said first responders spent some time trying to get a person out of the upside-down car.
But when they did, they were still searching for something.
They was probably here for like two or three hours. They were like walking up and down the street, like they was looking for something stuff,” she said.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said a trooper saw a speeding car but could not catch up.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office could not confirm if the crash was a result of a chase, but did say there were minor injuries.
