OCSO deputies received a call reporting an escape shortly before 1 p.m. and responded to the intersection of North John Young Parkway and State Road 408, a spokesperson said.

An OCSO helicopter spotted the marked Department of Corrections vehicle and tracked it from a distance until it crashed in Lake County, according to OCSO.

The inmate crashed near County Road 470 and County Road 48 in Okahumpka, where he was apprehended by officers with the Leesburg Police Department, agency spokesman Lt. Joe Iozzi said.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. FHP’s Lt. Kim Montes said the inmate ran a red light, hit an SUV and caused a four-car crash near the intersection. Nobody was injured in the crash, she said.

FHP officers arrived at the scene of the crash just before 3 p.m., according to the agency’s live traffic condition report. The crash is listed as blocking traffic in the area.

The corrections officer whose vehicle was stolen suffered minor injuries, but he is expected to make a full recovery, according to OCSO.

DANBURY — Two males were arrested Sunday after police say they crashed a stolen car on Interstate 84.

State police responded to a one-car accident in the area of Exit 3 around 9:25 p.m. and found an unoccupied vehicle with heavy passenger side damage facing west on the eastbound side of the highway.

Shortly after arriving on scene, a trooper spotted two individuals running on the Exit 3-off ramp, according to authorities.

State police’s criminal information summary on the incident lists “Danbury Kia” as the victim.

One of the individuals was 20-year-old Danbury resident Stephen Felax, according to police. The other was a male juvenile.



They were both charged with second-degree larceny and interfering with an officer.

The juvenile was released to a guardian on scene, while Felax was held on a $2,500 surety bond.

A 29-year-old man with no address drove a stolen van on Monday from Warren County, N.J., into Northampton County, Pa., on Interstate 78 West before ramming a police vehicle with two New Jersey Stare troopers inside, court papers say.

Brandon Marsalis Wesley, behind the wheel of a 2017 GMC Savana with Garden State registration, crossed into Pennsylvania about 2:45 p.m. while being pursued by New Jersey troopers, Pennsylvania State Police said court papers say.

Near the Route 33 interchange in Lower Saucon Township a “pursuit intervention technique” by a Pennsylvania State Police vehicle spun the van, stopping it facing the right side of the highway, police said. A New Jersey State Police vehicle with two troopers inside pulled forward to within 10 feet of the van, police said. The van sped forward, slammed into the driver’s side front quarter panel of the SUV, breaking the police vehicle’s front axle and pushing the vehicle sideways into a guide rail, where it stopped, police said.
