State police said Taylor Alexander, of New Iberia, was seriously injured in a vehicle crash that occurred on Highway 3195 on Sept. 4.

According to a news release, the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office attempted to stop a 2012 Honda Accord driven by Alexander on Highway 87.

"Alexander then fled from deputies at a high rate of speed. As the pursuit continued northbound onto LA Hwy 3195 from LA Hwy 87, Alexander failed to navigate a curve, crossed into the southbound lane, exited the roadway to the left, and overturned after entering a ditch," state police said.

Alexander, who was unrestrained, was taken to an area hospital for treatment of severe injuries.
