Fleeing driver crashes into VSO

Last night, the driver of a BMW using a tag assigned to a Nissan took off from an attempted traffic stop in the Daytona Beach area. The driver, later identified as Jason Therrien, 39, Holly Hill, was driving recklessly, weaving in and out of traffic, driving on the wrong side of the road, running red lights, and hitting 40 mph over the speed limit in residential areas. Holly Hill PD attempted a traffic stop and Daytona Beach PD deployed stop sticks, which Therrien hit but kept fleeing. A VSO deputy deployed a second set of stop sticks, which Therrien hit again, and kept fleeing. His tires deteriorated but he continued speeding around blind turns in the wrong lane. At the intersection of Old Dixie Highway and Walter Boardman Lane, Therrien lost control and ran off the road, crashing into a deputy's patrol vehicle, which was parked stationary with emergency lights on. Deputies then took Therrien into custody. He is charged with aggravated reckless fleeing (3 counts), possession of crack cocaine, fentanyl, cannabis and paraphernalia, and driving an unregistered vehicle. He is in the Volusia County Branch Jail at this time with no bond.
