An 18-year-old is facing multiple charges after DPS says a stolen car pursuit through east Phoenix ended with a crash on Loop 202. 🚨

According to investigators, a trooper attempted to stop the vehicle near 48th Street and Broadway Road after the driver allegedly ran a red light. Instead of pulling over, police say the driver sped away, leading troopers onto SR-143 and then Loop 202.

The chase came to an end when the vehicle crashed near the interchange. Officials say both the driver and a passenger were taken into custody, and a firearm was also recovered during the investigation.

The driver was later booked on several charges, including vehicle theft, fleeing from law enforcement, weapons-related offenses, and DUI.

It seems like these high-speed pursuits have been making headlines almost every week lately. Do you think they’re becoming more common around the Valley? 👀
