Two people are facing charges after they allegedly led police on a chase and caused a crash Thursday night.

Around 9:30 p.m. Dayton officers observed a stolen car being driven by a “known violent offender” who had several active warrants, according to a Dayton police spokesperson.

Officers attempted to stop the orange Dodge Charger but it dove away from officers.

The chase ended in the area of West Second Street and Brooklyn Avenue when the Dodge Charger crashed into a gray Honda Accord.

The crash caused the gray Honda to flip, trapping a woman inside.
