ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. – A man is facing multiple charges after leading police on a chase that ended him crashing into a levee.

Eventually, he lost control of the car and went into a ditch at the Route 3 and I-255 split. There were no injuries.
Hook — of Cahokia, Illinois — was charged with two counts of aggravated fleeing police, one count of driving on a revoked license and one count of resisting arrest.
His bond was set at $75,000.
