The suspect was seen crossing Pennsylvania Avenue on Fairbanks Avenue heading eastbound.

During his flight, the suspect crashed into another vehicle, injuring two innocent bystanders.

"We went up north on Lakemont, up on Lake Howell, and I think it was Tuscarora Trail that he ended up crashing into the back of a car, got out of the truck and took off, "Winter Park Police Department Lt.
