SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WRKC) -- A driver crashed in Springfield Township Friday afternoon, Dec. 19, then ran away from police.

Investigators said the driver was on Hollywood, when he spotted police and took off. At some point he lost control and went into a yard on Hamilton Avenue. His car spun out, clipped a pole, went back onto the road, hit a tree, crossed the street and hit a fire hydrant. That's when police say he got out of his car and fled the scene.

Officials caught up with him on Teakwood. Police haven't released his name. They brought out a police dog because they think he might have had a gun.

Hamilton Avenue was closed for at time but has since reopened.
