ATLANTA -- Georgia State Troopers are searching the wood line of Langford Parkway after a police pursuit ended in a crash.

Details are still limited but authorities said the crash and following search through the woods happened near Perkerson Elementary.

The Georgia State Patrol said it all started around 10:30 Friday morning when a trooper tried to pull over a stolen Dodge Challenger that was traveling fast on I-75 north.
