Wild police chase as man in back of pick-up hurls wooden boards at cops before multi-car wrong way crash on highway
A wild police chase in Ohio ended with a multi-car wrong-way crash on Interstate 75 which injured seven people. The pursuit began Thursday June 5 when the driver of a GMC Sierra, James Collins, refused to pull over when the Ohio State Highway Patrol tried to stop him for having no visible registration. Footage filmed by a police helicopter unit shows the chase through Montgomery County escalating as a passenger in the bed of the truck begins throwing wooden boards into the road in a desperate attempt to deter police. The truck ended up driving the wrong way down Interstate 75 where it eventually caused a six-vehicle pile-up. After the crash, all four people in the GMC took off on foot before eventually being caught by police. They are all now facing charges for drug possession and aggravated vehicular assault.

2 men charged in police pursuit, wrong-way crash on I-75
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Two people accused in the police pursuit that led to a 6-car, wrong-way crash on I-75 are now facing charges. Last Thursday, a pickup truck with four occupants inside was pursued by police as it sped through Dayton highways in the wrong direction. New dashcam footage shows just how large scale that pursuit was. New video shows wrong-way driver crashing into 5 cars on I-75 Cruiser video obtained from Perry Township law enforcement shows the 50-minute pursuit that led police from the outskirts of Dayton onto US-35 and then onto I-75. The pursuit started in Perry Township, as police began pursuing a GMC Sierra truck in the early evening hours of June 5. Dash camera footage features communication with a police helicopter overhead and the cruisers on the ground during the chase. Police deployed stop sticks, but the GMC drove right over them, reportedly refusing to stop for officers. The alleged driver has been identified as 46-year-old James Collins of Dayton. The chase continued across township roads until the truck entered US-35, driving in the wrong direction against traffic. That's when law enforcement noticed an occupant in the bed of the truck. 'Hey, there's actually somebody, in the bed of the pickup truck. White male, with gray shirt and black pants.' said one officer over the dashcam footage. 'Yeah, he's trying to dump boards, use caution guys, he's trying to dump boards on you.' That man, identified as 49-year-old Thomas Downey of Dayton, was dumping items onto the road in an attempt to stop law enforcement, including planks of wood. Dashcam confirms what officers have previously reported — the chase was stopped momentarily several times, both in the name of public safety, and to clean up the mess. Once the truck made its way onto I-75, driving south in the northbound lanes, it was just minutes before a multi-vehicle crash occurred. The truck collided with five other vehicles, leaving several other people injured. Four suspects fled the GMC truck, leading police on a short foot chase before they were all arrested and transported to the hospital. Both Collins and Downey are facing three charges, including fleeing and eluding, vehicular assault and obstructing official business. Charges for the other two passengers in the truck are currently under review. 2 NEWS will continue to follow this case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

A man, accused of driving the wrong way on Interstate 75 and causing a crash, appeared in court Tuesday. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] As reported on News Center 7 at 6, court records reveal that 46-year-old James Collins was driving without a valid driver's license on June 5, the day of the chase and crash. RELATED>> Brand new aviation video shows man throwing wood at deputies, causing wrong-way crash on I-75 Perry Township Police attempted to pull Collins over in a white GMC Sierra with no visible registration. Instead of stopping, police say Collins fled. TRENDING STORIES: Kettering Health Cyberattack: Here's what is being done for patients with sensitive info on dark web 'Flamingo felons' arrested after statue stolen for second time 5-year-old expected to survive after suspected drunk driver runs red light The Ohio State Highway Patrol's aviation unit followed the GMC Sierra as it drove all over Montgomery County as if he was being chased. Law enforcement tried to deploy stop sticks to disable the vehicle, but they were unsuccessful. Then a passenger that was in the bed of the truck, identified as 49-year-old Thomas Downey, began throwing wood from the bed of the truck. 'We have officers flying past this vehicle while wood is being thrown at them, to get in front and start breaking down and locking down intersections,' Major Jeremy Roy said in a press conference Monday. Collins then, according to law enforcement, began driving east in the westbound lanes of Route 35 before following a ramp the wrong way and driving south on northbound I-75. 'I believe some of these suspects are doing this intentionally to think that we're going to back off and we're just not going to do that anymore,' Roy said. The wrong-way crash happened before law enforcement could stop Collins. Collins is now in jail after entering a 'not guilty' plea in court, facing charges of vehicular assault, obstructing official business and failure to comply with an officer. All while driving without a valid driver's license. Collins appeared in court from jail by video. The judge set his bond at $20,000 without the ability to pay 10% of the bond as bail, meaning he would have to pay the full amount in cash to be released and placed on electronic monitoring as his case moves forward. Downey has not yet appeared in court and is not in police custody. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
