Timothy Nelson is charged with third-degree fleeing and eluding an officer, second offense operating while impaired and second offense operating on a suspended license.
Nelson is charged as a habitual offender. He was issued a $100,000 cash or surety bond.
Westland officers tried to pull over a Chrysler Pacifica near Wildwood and Ford roads about 8 p.m. because it was moving erratically, police said. Police said officers terminated the chase when the minivan pulled into a residential area and they lost track of the vehicle.
It was later reported that the same vehicle was moving erratically on the other side of the city, where a second chase was initiated, police said.
Nelson then crossed into Livonia, where he struck another vehicle, driven by a 73-year-old Redford woman, at Plymouth and Middlebelt roads, police said.
The woman is stable at a hospital, police said.
