Man Trapped Under Truck After Pursuit Crash

A suspected DUI driver led Brevard County deputies on a high-speed chase early Thursday morning. A volunteer fire chief spotted the truck swerving on I-95 in Titusville just after midnight and called deputies.

Deputies caught up with the truck and tried to stop the driver but that is when he drove off, reaching speeds of more than 100 MPH.

During the pursuit, the white pick-up truck exited the interstate at State Road 5-A in Scottsmoor. That is where the driver lost control of the truck, flipped over and finally landed on its roof in the median at the end of the off-ramp.

Deputies had to lift the truck off the driver's hand because it was pinned under the truck. Brevard County Fire Rescue transported the man to Parrish Medical Center. He is expected to be arrested and will face multiple charges including fleeing and eluding officers.
