Suspects lead Arizona authorities on high-speed freeway chase before arrest

PHOENIX — A high-speed car chase on a Phoenix-area freeway early Tuesday morning came to an end with four suspects of a stolen vehicle and an armed robbery taken into custody.

The driver, in his early 20s, reached 91 mph on Loop 101 before pulling off the highway at Peoria Avenue, where he hit a car carrying a woman and two children.

The family suffered minor injuries.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said law enforcement in the West Valley suburb of Peoria caught three of the suspects right after the car, a red Camaro that authorities said had been stolen during a robbery in Phoenix on Monday, crashed after it exited Loop 101.

A state trooper had tried to stop the car on southbound 101 at Thunderbird Road.

All four suspects fled on foot after the crash. Three males and a female were also arrested. They were caught quickly, but the final suspect was arrested in a nearby neighborhood.
