An early-morning Denver police chase ended with a vehicle on its roof on Interstate 70, shutting down eastbound lanes and backing up commuters Monday, according to local TV reports. Authorities told reporters the pursuit followed a reported robbery in the city, but offered few details on possible suspects or injuries as the morning rush started to build behind the crash scene.
Video obtained by FOX31 Denver shows the overturned vehicle surrounded by cruisers and emergency crews on I-70, with officers blocking off lanes while investigators combed through debris in the dark, early hours.
Where the Chase Ended
A separate account from Denver7 said the pursuit came to a halt on eastbound I-70 near Vasquez, where officers used a maneuver to spin the suspect’s car. During the chaos, a person reportedly fell from an overpass and was taken to a hospital with serious leg injuries. Denver7 reported the chase began after early-morning reports of shots fired downtown.
Investigation and Traffic Impacts
Denver police confirmed they are investigating the reported robbery and the rollover crash and have not released information about arrests or charges, according to FOX31 Denver. Officials asked anyone with dash-cam footage or eyewitness information to contact investigators, and drivers were urged to steer clear of the area while crews cleared the wreckage and the investigation continued.
