MACON, Ga. — A police chase down I-75 South ended in Macon Tuesday morning, after a car wrecked and a man took off running.
Officers on scene said the chase began in Butts County, and the suspect's vehicle was totaled coming off the exit where I-75 and I-16 split.
After the car wrecked, the man tried to escape by running down into the construction zone and towards I-75 North.
Deputies from the Butts County and Bibb County Sheriff's Office and Georgia State Patrol Troopers were searching for him, and a helicopter was called in to search on either side of the highway.
It appeared civilians found him under the I-16 East ramp and stopped him from running, so deputies could arrest him.
13WMAZ's Avery Braxton was on scene and captured video of the moment when the suspect was arrested.
No information has been released as far as the suspect's name and why they were after him.
