A Fond du Lac man faces charges following a crash and subsequent chase. According to police a car struck a light pole and street sign on North Peters Avenue near Security Drive Wednesday and when officers arrived smoke was coming from the vehicle and the driver refused to exit the vehicle. At one point an officer broke out a window on the vehicle to extricate the driver if the vehicle started on fire. The driver fled, driving through a fence on North Peters Avenue and continued through a nearby field where he struck a second fence and an unoccupied vehicle. The driver continued to accelerate his vehicle in an attempt to flee. FDLPD Officers responded with an armored rescue vehicle and were able to stop the vehicle and take the driver into custody. A 20-year-old Fond du Lac man was arrested on charges of Operating While Intoxicated, Fleeing, and Recklessly Endangering Safety. The incident remains under investigation.
