A State Highway Patrol chase ended with a fatal crash in Findlay over the weekend. The patrol says the incident began when troopers tried to pull over a man near the State Route 12 exit around 11:20 p.m. Saturday night. The man sped away, and five minutes later hit a utility pole at the intersection of Blanchard and Fremont avenues.

Media reports say a 33-year-old man from Mount Blanchard died in the crash. His passenger, a 44-year-old Findlay woman, was flown by medical helicopter to a Toledo hospital.

We’ll have more details as they become available.
