A short police chase ended in a fiery crash in downtown Cadillac last night.

Police say they tried to stop the car after the driver didn't dim his headlights.

Police say he took off, lost control and crashed into a tree on the corner of Howard and Shelby Streets around 11 pm.

We're told the driver then jumped in the backseat and pretended to be asleep when the car caught on fire.

He eventually got out and was arrested for driving drunk.

A passenger was also arrested on a bench warrant.
