Morgan Singletary lives nearby and spoke with First Coast News about the incident.

"I was in my backyard just hanging out and all of a sudden I hear 'pow, pow, pow'... it sounded like gunshots," said Singletary. "I was scared for a second there. As soon as I heard it, I ran outside."

He explains that he saw several police cars flying past, including a possible suspect vehicle.

"I saw a black car, it was an SUV," said Singletary. "I'm not sure. I believe it was civilian. But I know the cops definitely were in the accident."
