The incident happened in Putnam County on Thursday afternoon, April 13, when state troopers saw a vehicle traveling northbound on Interstate 684 in Southeast that was wanted in regards to a stolen property complaint, according to Trooper Beau Duffy of the New York State Police Public Information Office.
Troopers tried stopping the car, but it continued and a pursuit began. Eventually, the driver lost control and crashed into a guard rail on the Exit 10 off-ramp, Duffy said.
Following the crash, both the driver and passenger were taken into custody, and the passenger was treated for a minor injury.
The suspects' names and identities have not yet been released as the investigation into the incident continues. More information may be released at a later time, according to Duffy.
