St. Petersburg chase<\/p>\n
The backstory<\/p>\n
According to a Florida Highway Patrol arrest report, troopers were patrolling near 22nd Avenue North and 34th Street North shortly after midnight on Thursday when they saw a Kia SUV speeding.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the SUV was clocked at approximately 58 mph in a 40-mph zone. A trooper tried to make a traffic stop, but the driver, identified as Nycolye Carrion, 26, allegedly accelerated away instead of pulling over.<\/p>\n

FHP says Carrion continued fleeing through residential streets, reaching speeds of approximately 55 mph in a 25-mph zone. Carrion nearly hit three people that were moving items in the trunk of a vehicle, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The SUV ignored stop signs, drove through yards, hit a curb and eventually crashed into a pond, according to FHP.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the SUV became partially submerged after entering the water. A trooper saw Carrion get out of the driver\u2019s side window, jump in the water and begin swimming away.<\/p>\n

After the crash, troopers and assisting St. Pete police officers began searching the nearby area.<\/p>\n

Troopers learned Carrion had no proof of insurance, a suspended license and the SUV\u2019s registration was expired. He was also wearing an ankle monitor and told investigators he was on bond for a third-degree felony, according to FHP.<\/p>\n
Carrion suffered a dislocated shoulder and multiple cuts to his body during the chase from authorities. He received treatment at Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital.<\/p>\n
