I heard this briefly on the 11pm News last night.   I only caught a photo of a wrecked car.  It was not clear who was hurt, police or drive of the car they were chasing!  Today, on the News there is nothing about the situation.  Thanks for the update.  Do we know WHY they were chasing this person?

To the best of my knowledge.....
The person being chased rolled his vehicle.

Why is this information not being released?  There was a high speed chase, what was the reason for a high speed chase?  If there were other folks driving the roads, would they have been in danager?  Seems to be many unanswered questions here.

I now have the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Press Release.
They did not delay releasing it, I have been extremely busy.

The driver did get away, but he has since been apprehended.
The injured young man was 18.

It occured 7/20 at 01:00 when the deputy was investigating a citizen complaint in regards to a possible domestic that was taking place on the roadway on Rt. 104 in Fairfax.

While speaking to possible witnesses on Sand Hill Road, a vehicle came down Sand Hill Road and attempted to hit the deputy standing beside his marked cruiser.

The deputy jumped out of the way, a chase followed for about 4 miles, operator lost control on Goose Pond Road, crashed in a ditch and ended up upside down.

18 year old passenger (Milton resident) transported to hospital, driver ran away.

And as of now, to the best of my knowledge, the driver has been caught as well.

The deputy was not injured.
