The brief pursuit began around 10:30 p.m. Saturday on the northbound highway.

The driver took the Linwood Avenue exit, headed to The Valley Hospital about a half-mile away.

Troopers pulled their guns after the driver eventually stopped because they didn't know whether the pair was armed.

Once they discovered the circumstances, the troopers provided an escort up Linwood Avenue to the hospital.
