Mobile, AL (December 12, 2025) – Two people were injured in a police pursuit that ended in a crash Friday night, December 13, near Dauphin Street and Catherine Street.
According to Mobile Police, the pursuit began around 9 p.m. when officers tried to stop a car between Government and Dauphin Streets. Instead of pulling over, the driver sped away, leading officers on a short chase through downtown. Moments later, the suspect’s car slammed into a police vehicle and another driver’s car near Dauphin and Catherine Streets. The impact forced the second car off the road and into a nearby home.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene and found both the suspect and the other driver hurt. Paramedics treated the injured individuals at the scene. Authorities confirmed that no officers were hurt in the collision.
The suspect continued for about a block before stopping near South Catherine Street and Blair Avenue, where officers arrested the driver. Investigators spent several hours at the scene collecting evidence, documenting the damage, and speaking with witnesses. The investigation remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with everyone injured in this incident, and we wish them a full and swift recovery.
Car Accidents in Mobile
Car accidents happen frequently throughout Mobile. 
Car accidents in Mobile often happen when drivers speed through intersections or run red lights, creating sudden hazards for everyone nearby. Others occur when motorists follow too closely or make sharp turns without checking for oncoming traffic. In some cases, fleeing drivers or police pursuits, like the recent chase near Dauphin and Catherine Streets, put innocent people at serious risk.
Crash victims often face painful injuries such as broken bones, neck and back trauma, or head injuries that require weeks or months of recovery. Beyond the physical toll, medical bills, lost income, and emotional stress can leave families struggling to stay afloat.
Alabama law allows accident victims to pursue compensation when someone else’s actions cause harm. This compensation can cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and emotional suffering, vehicle repair costs, and other financial losses.
Unfortunately, insurance companies often move fast to limit payouts and protect their profits. Many victims end up accepting less than they deserve simply because they do not know their legal options. A skilled Mobile car accident lawyer can protect your rights, negotiate with insurers, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
