Springfield Police on the scene told News Center 7 that this began this morning with a complaint of gunfire in the 100 block of W. Southern Avenue.

That led to a pursuit, which resulted in several crashes.

Around 10:30 a.m. police responded to the area of E. Main Street and N. Belmont Avenue on reports of a shooting and a crash involving multiple vehicles.

News Center 7 spoke to a driver who was involved in the crash at E. Main Street and N. Belmont Avenue. She said a truck that had a green light was hit by an undercover police vehicle, which did not have any kind of sirens on.

The truck skidded across the street, hitting a car. She then described it spinning out and hitting her car.

“It was a lot to deal with,” Ciera Bannick said.

News Center 7 has also confirmed with dispatchers that a pedestrian crash was reported in the first block of W. Southern Avenue.

This is all under investigation. We’ll provide updates as we learn more.
