A brief police pursuit in northwest Oklahoma City ended almost as quickly as it began Friday afternoon, when a fleeing vehicle rear-ended another car near West Sheridan Avenue and North Classen Boulevard. Two people were taken to the hospital and a suspect was arrested after bolting from the crash, according to police.
Officers said the chase lasted about 30 seconds before the driver jumped out and ran. After a short foot pursuit, officers caught up with the suspect and took him into custody. Police shut down the immediate area while first responders treated the injured and investigators documented the scene.
The Oklahoma City Police Department identified the suspect as Noah Price and said the driver and a passenger in the struck vehicle were hospitalized in stable condition. Price was arrested after the brief chase on foot and faces complaints of aggravated DUI, felony eluding and leaving the scene of an accident, according to News 9.
