An officer was injured after falling off a bridge during a chase near Toledo, Ohio, said the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

The trooper, Brian Mull, started the pursuit of a suspect on US-23 at around 4 a.m. local time, WTOL-TV reported. Ohio State Highway Patrol officers then got involved in the chase, which went from US-23 to Interstate-475 before going to Interstate-75.

The suspect, Shawnte Groom, attempted to escape officers by going through construction zone barrels and speeding. He emerged from a construction zone and hit Mull’s vehicle.

Groom then jumped out of the car and ran to the overpass to escape. Mull grabbed him from behind, and both of them went off the bridge.

Mull, 34, was taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center to be treated for his injuries, according to the station.
