Law enforcement officers are saying it’s a miracle that no one was injured following Tuesday’s police chase through parts of Morgan, Scott and Greene Counties.
The chaos started shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday when 32-year old Aaron Barker, of Springfield, allegedly stole a Toyota Camry from a woman in Springfield. Over the course of the next few hours, Barker led officers from multiple departments on a wild joyride across as many as three counties in west-central Illinois…and luckily, nobody suffered any serious injuries.
According to Scott County Sheriff Tom Eddinger, initial reports came in regarding a collision near the corner of Mound Road and Massey Lane between the stolen Camry and a Rid-All Pest Control truck. From there, Barker led police on a chase that covered parts of central and southern Morgan County, over into Scott County and Winchester, and finally concluded near Roodhouse.
