A 26-year-old Niles man is facing charges following a crash and chase with police on Wednesday. The Cass County Sheriff’s Department tells us it all started around 7:40 p.m. when deputies were called out to investigate a crash between two vehicles on US-12 near Conrad Road in Milton Township. Neither of the drivers were hurt, but one of them, the 26-year-old from Niles, drove away from the scene when the deputies arrived. They chased him until he crashed his vehicle at Dailey Road near Jefferson Center Road. He was placed under arrest and then taken to Borgess Lee Memorial Hospital in Dowagiac to be treated. Police say the incident is still under investigation, and they suspect alcohol was involved. The suspect’s name has not been released.
