Suspects in stolen car crash after Englewood pursuit ends

A man and woman inside a car stolen out of Arizona crashed into a guardrail Wednesday after taking the Interstate 70 exit to Hoke Road, just moments after Englewood police ended a short pursuit.

An Englewood officer checked the license plate of a suspicious vehicle around 4:10 p.m. as it left the Walmart parking lot, 7725 Hoke Road, and found it was stolen out of Phoenix. The officer followed the vehicle while waiting for backup to make a stop as the vehicle went on I-70 East from Hoke Road to Main Street, where the car crossed three lanes and entered Interstate 70 West in an apparent attempt to lose the officer, according to Sgt. Mike Lang.
