It ended in the area of Gratiot Ave. and Van Dyke, where the suspect vehicle smashed into two parked vehicles.
All three vehicles involved are being called a total loss, including Anthony Poole's pickup truck. He witnessed the crash.
"I was asleep. just had got off of work. I usually sit in there and eat my little lunch," Poole told Langton. "I have my belongings in there — birth certificate, title, new clothes...all my tools, I do mechanic work. I'm told it's a loss now... I won't be eating breakfast in that truck no more."
A power line also came down at the crash scene, when a vehicle struck a pole.
