A police pursuit ended Thursday afternoon when a suspect's vehicle overturned on Route 1 in Northern Virginia, police said.
Fairfax County police, Virginia state police and Alexandria city police were involved in the pursuit. Fairfax County police said the vehicle had been stolen in a carjacking in Prince George's County, Maryland, earlier in the day.
Officers saw the car driving north on Route 1 near Fort Hunt Road and tried to pull over the driver, who did not stop, police said. Officers then conducted a Precision Immobilization Technique, also called a PIT maneuver, to stop the car, which rolled over into the southbound lanes on Route 1 (Richmond Highway) at the Capital Beltway. The crash site was near the Wilson Bridge in Fairfax County.
There were four people in the car at the time. All four were taken into custody and transported to a hospital with minor injuries. They will face charges and extradition to Maryland once they’re treated for injuries from the crash, authorities said.
