2 men arrested after police chase ends in vehicle crash in Southfield
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Dashcam footage shows the moment an officer’s cruiser crashed during a high-speed chase in front of a condominium complex in Southfield.
Officials said a black pickup truck that officers were pursuing was reported stolen. Prior to the crash, the suspects inside led officers on a chase.
The incident came as a shock to Davian and Joesph Montgomery, who live in the complex.
“The police could have killed them trying to get the people or they could have killed somebody trying to escape,” said Joseph Montgomery.

STUART, FL â Elizabeth Mitchell Montgomery was born August 13, 1928 in Topsfield, Massachusetts, the fourth child of Ulster-Scots parents from Northern Ireland and the farms of County Armagh. Sarah Mitchell had left for Belfast to work in the linen factories before boarding an immigrant ship to Boston from the port of Londonderry. Joseph Montgomery had done the same â sailing from Londonderry to the port of New York. Sheâd made her way to Wellesley, he to Brookline. She as a domestic and a dressmaker; he as a groom and then a chauffeur and a gardener.
Born at home in the chauffeurâs cottage on the Cummings estate, Elizabeth spent treasured summers in Topsfield; her father planted a Victory Garden, yearly they attended the Topsfield Fair. In the remainder of the year she was a Boston girl from the all-Irish triple-decker-householder neighborhood of Allston.
