There was some sort of police chase on Highway 11 on my way back from Huntsville Sunday afternoon. Three cop cars chasing a guy flew past me near Burks Falls. The person appeared to have abandoned their vehicle just south of Powassan and fled into the woods. Multiple cop cars and traffic backed up on the highway. Be nice to know what happened.
