The driver of a car with no license plates who fled from a traffic stop in Dayton later crashed into another car and tree in Riverside.

The crash was reported around 11:30 a.m. in the 1100 block of Spinning Road.

Officers attempted to stop a vehicle with no license plates during a multiple-agency auto theft suppression operation, said Dayton police Lt. Jacquelyn Imwalle.

“That vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. It was eventually located in Riverside after it struck a car and a tree, she said.

Pam Baldwin of Riverside said she was inside her home watching TV when she heard a big boom.

“I thought there was an explosion, to be honest,” she said. “And so I come running out the door and there were cops going everywhere, every which way.”

Baldwin said said she saw cruisers from Riverside, Dayton, Moraine and Kettering police departments.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, Imwalle said.

A woman in the car that was hit was taken by family members to a local hospital to be checked, Riverside police said.
