Stolen vehicle chase in Las Vegas leads to crash, closure as police search for suspect
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- A late-night police chase involving a stolen vehicle led to a crash on a Las Vegas freeway, followed by a road closure as officers attempted to locate a possible second suspect. Shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department attempted a vehicle stop on a stolen vehicle, police said. The driver of the vehicle refused to stop, and police began to chase the vehicle. During the pursuit, the suspect crashed into another vehicle on the 215 west ramp from the I-15. The suspect left the vehicle and ran away from the scene, but officers were able to take them into custody a short time later. Police established a perimeter in the area in an attempt to bring a possible additional outstanding suspect into custody. As of 3 a.m., police had not provided any updates on that possible second suspect. Medical personnel took the driver of the other vehicle involved to a local hospital with minor injuries, police said. The on-ramp to the 215 west from the I-15 south was blocked off and traffic was diverted to exit onto Russell Road, police said. It was unclear at the time of publication how long the closure would be in place. Drivers are asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes. This is a developing story.
