According to Toledo police on the scene, this unmarked TPD vehicle struck a pedestrian.

TPD says Officers Krabill and Glesmer were attempting to pull over an unplated Dodge truck; lights and sirens were initiated in order to conduct the traffic stop.

As officers began to catch up to the Dodge, the truck crashed at Heston and Indiana and the three occupants of the truck began to flee the scene.

During this time, a 16-year-old, who was not involved in the incident, was walking near the intersection and began running from the area.

Police say the juvenile ran across Indiana Ave. when he was hit by the unmarked police vehicle which still had lights and sirens activated.
