The driver lost control and crashed into the building on Courtland Street. You can see the front of the office is destroyed.
People in the area told Channel 2’s Eryn Rogers that they are glad it wasn’t a person that was hit.
“If you don’t have the chases then you won’t have the fatalities and the accidents, or innocent bystanders getting caught in the way, or businesses having to cash out for repairs,” said resident Juan Johnson.
A person who said they witnessed the crash told Channel 2 they saw someone run from the car. He said a trooper chasing the driver fell and may have cut themselves.
Georgia State Patrol called it an active investigation, and they would make more details public at a later time.
