Officer, fleeing motorist injured after chase and crash

A police officer and a motorist who led police on a chase through Columbia Borough Wednesday morning were taken to the hospital after a vehicle accident.

Columbia Borough police Sgt. Marc Y. Tremblay was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

The motorist, who police said is a suspect in a crime elsewhere, also was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Columbia police.

Officers attempted to stop the suspect's vehicle at Third and Locust streets in the borough after the driver failed to stop for a red light at 1:18 a.m.

The suspect's car later crashed into Tremblay's cruiser at nearby Third and Union streets. Both cars had severe damage.
