TOLEDO, Ohio — A Toledo man has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide after police said he crashed while fleeing police late Sunday night, killing a pedestrian.
Michael Jackson, 35, of Toledo, also is charged with vehicular homicide and vehicular manslaughter. He is in custody at the Lucas County jail.
On March 8, Jackson was indicted on charges of aggravated vehicular manslaughter, failure to stop after accident and failure to comply with signal of police officer.

The chase ended when Jackson's vehicle crashed through a barricade, struck a work vehicle and rolled over, striking the pedestrian in the process.
The pedestrian was killed and Jackson was injured and taken to Toledo Hospital, where he was treated and released.
