BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES ARE QUESTIONING A MAN AND WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER A HIGH SPEED CHASE IN ALBUQUERQUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT … AND ARE LOOKING FOR A 3RD SUSPECT.
THE CHASE STARTED AT RIO GRANDE AND I-40 WHEN DEPUTIES SPOTTED A STOLEN TRUCK AND TRIED TO PULL IT OVER. THOSE IN THE TRUCK REFUSED TO STOP AND LED DEPUTIES ON A HIGH-SPEED CHASE INTO THE SOUTH VALLEY. THERE, THEY SWITCHED INTO ANOTHER STOLEN VEHICLE.
AFTER REACHING SPEEDS OF UP TO 90 MILES AN HOUR, THE CAR CHASE ENDED IN THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PARKING LOT AND THE SUSPECTS FLED ON FOOT. THE LOT WAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED BUT IS BACK OPEN.
