A high- speed chase in Carbon County Wednesday night ended at the front doors of the Giant supermarket in Mahoning Township.
The chase started in Lehighton with a male driver of an SUV with New Jersey tags running from police. The male drove through numerous stop signs and traffic lights trying to out run police.
The driver finally headed west on Route 443 into Mahoning Township turning into the Carbon Plaza Mall. He came to rest just feet from the front doors of the heavily occupied store.
The male was evaluated at the scene by members of the Mahoning Valley ambulance and paramedics before being transported to the hospital. Police from Lehighton, Mahoning and Franklin townships as well as state police were on scene.
