SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -

What started out as a hit and run in Shreveport's Cedar Grove neighborhood late Monday morning ended with one of the alleged victims giving chase and the suspect crashing into a telephone pole in Caddo Heights.

Witnesses say a man driving a gold-colored sedan "flew" through the intersection of 62nd Street and Linwood Avenue in Cedar Grove, striking two cars, sending one of them into a third. There were no serious injuries.

The driver of one of the those cars tells KSLA News 12 he was able to follow the gold sedan through the neighborhood and all the way into Caddo Heights, where he ran into a utility pole at Camille Street and St. Vincent Avenue.

That's where police took him into custody. 20-year-old Joshua Tyrell Hamilton is charged with hit and run, driving without a license and having no insurance.
