Highway patrol said around 4 a.m. Monday, there was a trooper-involved crash and fire that were connected to a chase.
When a Channel 9 crew got to the scene, police had inbound Billy Graham Parkway closed at Josh Birmingham Parkway.
MEDIC said one person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Several hours later, a state trooper’s vehicle caught fire in the same area. That’s also connected to the chase but it’s unclear how.
We’re asking the highway patrol for more information.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
