The pursuit ended when the vehicle crashed near the intersection of W. Elm St and Fraunfelter Rd. After the crash, Page fled the vehicle and forced entry into a residence located on Fraunfelter Rd. 

While inside the residence Page continuously assaulted the homeowners for approximately two hours. Page then forced the residents to drive him in their vehicle to the intersection of Yoakam Rd and W.
