An incident that began at West Lake Park ended with a crash at Eastern Avenue and Locust Street, Davenport, where three children were injured.

At 7:13 p.m. Tuesday, Scott Emergency Communication Center received 911 calls reporting a large disturbance at West Lake Park, Davenport, according to a Scott County Sheriff’s Office news release.

As Scott County Conservation and Deputies arrived on scene, the suspect fled the area in a silver Equinox, according to a Wednesday release. A short pursuit took place and due to the actions of this vehicle, the pursuit was stopped. Witnesses advised that an adult victim and possibly three children were in the vehicle with the suspect driving, the release says.

At 7:36 p.m., this vehicle was located by a Deputy on West Locust and only appeared to have one adult occupant in the vehicle. A traffic stop was attempted at Locust and Brady and the Deputy disregarded the stop as the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed traveling east on Locust.

At 7:38, reports of an injury accident was reported at Locust and Eastern. The vehicle from above lost control and crashed within the intersection with the driver fleeing the scene leaving three young children in the vehicle injured. All three children were transported to Genesis East.

The accident is being investigated by Davenport Police Department, the release says.

It is believed that the fleeing suspect from the accident was the original victim of the call reported at West Lake Park. At this time, charges are pending. If anyone has additional information, contact the Sheriff’s Office at or Lt. Leonard at 563-326-8775.
