The driver did not cooperate and sped away. The trooper attempted pursuit, but quickly terminated it for public safety reasons.

At about 92nd, the vehicle was involved in a collision severe enough to total the vehicle and catch it on fire. The driver was able to get out and fled the scene.

At last reporting, police were still searching for the suspect.
