Three people were injured in a truck crash on Pio Nono Avenue in Macon on Tuesday, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.
How the Pio Nono Avenue Crash Unfolded
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said a special response team unit tried to stop a white sedan at Pio Nono Avenue and Bethel Street at about 11:36 a.m. The sheriff's office said the driver drove off, and deputies followed the sedan south on Pio Nono Avenue in what it described as a brief chase. The sheriff's office said the sedan hit a black pickup truck where Pio Nono Avenue meets Anthony Road, then crashed into a utility pole. A local medical center received a 20-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman who had been in the sedan, plus the pickup's 65-year-old male driver, after paramedics transported them. The sheriff's office said all three were in stable condition.
What the Sheriff's Office Is Reviewing
The sheriff's office said its C.I.T.E. Unit is looking into the crash. Authorities have not released the name of the sedan's driver or said whether any charges are being filed. The sheriff's office has not said whether the two 20-year-olds from the sedan face any charges.
