Two people hospitalized after police chase ends in crash, downed power lines on Jackman Road

Police said both are expected to survive their injuries.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note: The following story has been updated to include new information made available in a Toledo police report. 

A police chase in west Toledo ended in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday night that resulted in the hospitalization of two people. 

According to a Toledo police report, crews initiated a chase with a tan truck who police said was driving recklessly on Sylvania Avenue near Jackman. Police continued to pursue the vehicle north before it lost control in the 5000 block of Jackman and collided with a second vehicle driven by a 45-year-old woman. 

Both drivers were transported to the hospital for injuries sustained in the crash and both are expected to survive their injuries. 

The driver of the first vehicle, a 29-year-old Eugene Kiser, was arrested, but as of 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, it is not known what charges he is facing. 

The vehicles were totaled in the crash, which downed power lines and resulted in Jackman Road being blocked off both ways just north of West Laskey Road while crews removed the downed pole. Crash reconstructionists responded to the scene. 

The roadway has since reopened.
