ATLANTA — The driver of a stolen car led police on a chase through southwest Atlanta on Friday, ending with a crash and an injured pedestrian.

"By the time he got to right here, it's a curve. It's a dead man's curve," a witness told Channel 2's Tom Jones.

Police said the stolen vehicle hit another car near 3000 Stone Road and then came to a stop. Two women passengers were caught but police are still searching for the driver.

Police say they are all believed to be involved in gang activity.

Several people in the car hit by the suspect were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
