GENESEE COUNTY, NY – A 25-year-old driver faces multiple charges after leading police on a pursuit that ended in a rollover crash early Sunday, July 14, in Batavia, reports WIV 4.

The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office said the incident unfolded shortly after 1:45 a.m., when the suspect reportedly fled police, who were trying to pull him over for traffic violations.
