NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police arrested three suspects after a cross-county pursuit ended in a crash.

The incident began Tuesday morning in Cheatham County. Deputies were investigating a theft of construction equipment when they saw a truck carrying a tractor trailer that had been stolen.

They tried to stop the truck but the driver kept going, prompting the chase.

At one point, the driver rammed into cruisers belonging to a Cheatham County Sheriff's deputy and a Davidson County investigator. Both had minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment.

The chase continued onto Old Hickory Boulevard and Gallatin Pike, where Metro police deployed spike strips. A Metro police officer was hurt when one of the spike strips hit his hand.

The driver crashed and police took them into custody. One of them had to be treated for injuries.
