An Idaho State Police (ISP) trooper and another driver were injured in a collision in Idaho Falls Friday night.
It happened around 10 p.m. on Yellowstone Highway and Pancheri Drive as the trooper was in pursuit of a different vehicle than the one it collided with, said Sgt. Bryan Lovell with the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office.
Initially, the trooper attempted to stop a vehicle associated with a felony warrant, but the suspect fled at a high rate of speed, avoiding multiple spike strips during the ISP pursuit.
It was during that chase when both the trooper and the other driver were injured. The trooper was treated and released on the scene, and the other driver was taken to a nearby hospital. Both are believed to have sustained only minor injuries.
According to the Idaho State Police, "the suspect vehicle was not apprehended, and the individual remains at large."
