Bush said Lotter took off after a trooper tried to make a traffic stop on Ohio 4 at Croft Road at 2:39 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 2. Lotter was heading south but turned onto McCreight where he lost control going about 70 miles per hour, Bush said.
The car Lotter was driving went off the left side of the road and hit a stop sign, causing it to turn over and go down an embankment, trapping Lotter behind the dashboard. Lotter was wearing a seat belt, Bush said.
Lotter was taken to the hospital in stable condition and is expected to be treated and released, Bush said.
Bush said he believes the car Lotter was driving belongs to his father. He said Lotter would be cited for felony fleeing, driving outside marked lanes, not having an operator’s license, and failure to control his vehicle.
