Kimball Township, MI – A late-night police chase that began in St. Clair County stretched across multiple Michigan townships before ending in a crash in Worth Township early Friday, Nov. 21, according to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say they first attempted to stop a black Infiniti just after midnight on Lapeer Road near Wadhams Road because it had no visible license plate. The driver allegedly refused to stop, continuing northbound at high speed and crossing into oncoming traffic as the pursuit moved through Clyde Township, Grant Township, and into southern Sanilac County.
According to the sheriff’s office, the chase ended when the vehicle crashed into a tree near Zimmer Auto Sales in Worth Township. The driver, identified as Virginia Smith, 39, of Port Huron, was medically cleared at McLaren Port Huron Hospital before being taken to the St. Clair County Detention and Intervention Center.
Officials say the Infiniti was unregistered and uninsured. Smith was arraigned Friday in 72nd District Court on multiple charges, including felony fleeing and eluding (2nd degree) and two counts of resisting and obstructing. She also faces misdemeanor counts of operating while intoxicated (2nd offense), reckless driving, and open alcohol in a vehicle.
Her bond was denied, according to court records.
