CAMDENTON, MO – A high-speed chase led to a multi-car collision and the arrest of a driver in Camdenton, as reported by the local police department. On the morning of November 29, an officer spotted a black Toyota RAV4 speeding southbound on North Business Route 5 at a rate of 51 mph in a 30 mph zone.

The officer pursued the vehicle for a speeding violation. The chase continued onto East Highway 54, where the Toyota ran a red light and sped away, eventually losing control.
