On Sunday, October 7 at around 325 a.m., a Spring Garden Township Police officer spotted a 1997 Kia Sophia driving erratically and run a red light at the intersection of South Richland Avenue and Indian Rock Dam Road.
The officer, who was sitting in the parking lot of the Rutter’s in the area, watched the car turn into Rutter’s, but then quickly leave when he spotted the officer. The officer tried to stop the car, but the driver, later identified as Yikeem Williams, 24 of York, took off.
The vehicle failed to yield to the officer and tried to drive away at a high speed. The officer did not chase him, but moments later saw a flash in the sky.
As the officer kept driving, he saw that Williams had crashed into a utility pole and was ejected. Williams was taken to York Hospital for medical treatment.
As soon as he was released from the hospital, Williams was charged with driving under the influence, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer and driving under suspension.
