BOUNTIFUL, Utah – Two people were arrested after a police pursuit ended in a crash on southbound I-15 Wednesday morning.

Police at the scene say things began around 1:30 a.m. when a Bountiful Police officer spotted a vehicle suspected to be stolen.

The officer tried to make a traffic stop, but the man behind the wheel of the car fled. Bountiful Police gave chase but pulled back to let a neighboring jurisdiction take the lead.

That pursuit ultimately ended in a crash on southbound I-15 at mile post 318, which is in the area of 500 West in Bountiful.

The two occupants of the vehicle got out and fled on foot but were captured a short time later.
