Officers left the hospital and the suspect was identified as Alexandria Mason, 42, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office records.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the incident began when Mason, driving a pickup truck, fled from three FHP units and the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.

The pursuit took place along I-95, ending after FHP successfully executed a PIT maneuver near Atlantic Boulevard. The maneuver caused Mason's vehicle to collide with an SUV. Fortunately, the driver of the SUV was not injured.

Mason, who was the subject of a Citrus County arrest warrant, was charged with driving under the influence.

Additional charges include reckless driving, aggravated fleeing and eluding, possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia, and possession of a stolen firearm.

FHP spokesperson Dylan Bryan confirmed the charges, saying, “Facing charges of reckless driving, driving under the influence, aggravated fleeing and eluding, possession of controlled substances and related paraphernalia drugs, and possession of a stolen firearm. »

Mason is currently incarcerated in the Duval County Jail with bail set at $2,150.
