A crashed car against a fence in a rural area of Santa Pau.

A police chase by the Mossos d'Esquadra between Olot and Santa Pau concluded on Thursday with a vehicle crashing into a fence and the driver's arrest.

The incident occurred after the driver of a vehicle fled from the police and drove dangerously on the GI-524 road. Officers attempted to stop the car in the Olot area, but the driver ignored their signals and initiated a pursuit towards Santa Pau.
During the chase, the vehicle drove recklessly on the GI-524. The pursuit ended in the Sallent neighborhood when the car went off the road and hit the fence of a private property.
Upon identification, it was determined that the driver was not the individual with an outstanding prison sentence. However, he was arrested on suspicion of reckless driving and disobedience to authority. The incident caused no injuries, despite the dramatic nature of the crash and the risks involved.
The vehicle's owner, who did have an outstanding court order, was summoned to the police station in Olot, where his situation was confirmed, and he was taken to prison.
