In a dramatic turn of events, a high-speed chase involving a Gwinnett County transit bus that originated in Atlanta came to a close in DeKalb County on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the capture of the suspect. The pursuit, which caused the bus to collide with multiple vehicles, involved law enforcement agencies from Atlanta, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties, as well as the Georgia State Patrol.

According to reports from the Atlanta Police, officers initially responded to a dispute on the Gwinnett County transit bus at 45 Ivan Allen Junior Boulevard NE. However, upon their arrival, the bus abruptly fled the scene, leading to a pursuit spanning multiple counties.

The chase escalated as the bus traveled through Gwinnett County, creating a hazardous situation when it briefly traveled on the wrong side of State Route 8. Eventually, the pursuit came to an end when the bus reached its conclusion in DeKalb County.

When the chase reached its conclusion, multiple individuals disembarked from the bus, although the exact details surrounding their involvement remain unknown at this time.
