A UW student was awoken Wednesday night to the sound of a vehicle crashing into his house.

The driver of the vehicle tried to run, but the student chased and held the suspect down until police arrived.

Madison Police say the incident started near West Badger Rd. when officers were involved in the pursuit of a white Chevrolet.

The driver of the vehicle, 21-year-old Michael Jones of Madison, led police to the Beltline where speeds reached 100 mph.

Police called off the pursuit, but continued in the direction of the speeding car and found that it had collided with the porch of a home on Randall Avenue.

Police say cinder blocks from the porch flew off and hit a truck that was parked nearby.

The truck belongs to a UW student who lives in the home that was hit.

The crash woke the student up and he spotted the driver of the car leaving the scene on foot. The student chased and held the suspect down until police arrived.

The student is in the Naval ROTC. A Madison Police Sgt. is recommending the student receive a citizen commendation for his help in nabbing the suspect.

A desk and chair that had been outside the home was struck and demolished in the crash. The student says he and his roommates were unsure as to keep those items, but the crash resolved that issues.
