TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) –The Florida Highway Patrol is searching for a vehicle with stolen license plates after troopers say it led them on a pursuit across Tallahassee Wednesday evening.
According to FHP, the chase lasted just under an hour. Troopers say it began near Thomasville Road and Bradfordville Road before continuing north to the Florida-Georgia line. Authorities say the driver then headed back south toward the area of Gum Road and Capital Circle Southwest.
Viewer video captured sirens lighting up the roadway as law enforcement pursued the vehicle.
Many people shared their experiences on WCTV’s social media pages following the chase. One person said she was run off the road, along with several other drivers.
Sarah Wright says she had a similar experience while driving on Capital Circle.
“I was turning on to Capital Circle off of Orange Avenue, and just at the right time I happened to look in my rear view mirror and there was a guy absolutely barreling through traffic, and I happened to be able to safely pull off into the shoulder and he flew past me and flew past a group of 4 or 5 cars in front of me,” Wright said.
Wright says the driver was moving fast and driving erratically. She says she’s still shaken up by what happened and is thankful she wasn’t hit.
“It was definitely very scary for me. I’m glad I was able to check my mirrors as quickly as possible. I definitely could tell the cars in front of me were trying to do what I was doing, trying to get into a safe spot away from the guy,” Wright said.
WCTV has received reports of several hit-and-run crashes along Capital Circle. FHP says it has not determined whether those incidents are connected to the pursuit.
As of Wednesday night, the vehicle had not been located. FHP is also not releasing the stolen license plate number at this time.
WCTV will continue to provide updates on air and online as more information becomes available.
