A report of an erratic driver turned into a crash on State Route 347 and two arrests Tuesday.
According to Maricopa Police Department spokesman Ricardo Alvarado, a 911 call came into dispatch at 10:22 p.m. describing a vehicle driving dangerously by Desert Cedars.
Officers located the vehicle on SR 347 but could not get close enough to get a plate number before he fled. “Not being able to catch up to the vehicle, they stopped at the old Circle K while the suspect continued northbound,” Alvarado said.
Entering the Smith-Enke Road intersection, the vehicle collided with a truck turning east. The two people in the suspect vehicle tried to flee on foot. Officers arrived and immediately apprehended one man near CVS. He was transported to Chandler Regional Medical Center for injuries. His name has not been released.
