NORWOOD, Ohio – Norwood police officers pulled a driver from his searing car after the man crashed during a police pursue early Tuesday morning.
Ryan Brown’s car caught fire after crashing into a parked car and then into a pole on Montgomery Road about Two:30 a.m., police said.
You can see for yourself in Officer Phillip Harvey’s cruiser cam movie.
Witness a one-minute clip here:
It shows Brown hitting a parked SUV near Cypress Way in Pleasant Ridge and then continuing north at speeds up to eighty mph until hitting a pole near Kincaid Road, police said.
Brown, 36, of Climb on Healthy, was knocked unconscious by the influence. The very first arriving officer, Mike Jackson, approached Brown’s car with gun drawn but quickly noticed it was a different kind of emergency.
Jackson and Harvey pulled Brown out of the car and dragged him to safety.
“They saved that suspect`s life,” Lt. Ron Murphy said.
The pursue embarked about two ½ miles away at Surrey Square in Norwood. Harvey was running radar when Brown passed close to his cruiser.
“The subject kind of railed the dual yellow line and almost sideswiped him, so that`s when Officer Harvey pulled out and advised dispatch that he was going to be stopping a vehicle for an investigation of OVI,” Murphy said.
Harvey`s lights and siren fail to stop Brown.
“We`re passing five thousand twenty three Montgomery. We`re still northbound. There`s still no traffic. Speeds are fifty now,” Murphy said as he described what was happening in the movie.
Brown hit a parked car, but that wasn’t the end of the pursue.
“The officers get out thinking they`re going to make an apprehension and then he backs up and drives away up the sidewalk,” Murphy said.
Norwood`s policy permits pursuits in OVI cases, but officers must take traffic volume, speed and safety into consideration.
There was little traffic at Two:30 in the morning.
“There were points in the movie where it looks like the officers were in the 70s and possibly the 80s in this movie, but based on their training and the supervisor on duty at the time, that was reasonable for the conditions they were faced with,” Murphy said.
Brown underwent surgery at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
He was charged with drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, OVI, failure to serve, OVI and driving under suspension.
