In a high-stakes police chase that took place on Sunday afternoon, one person was detained for questioning in Birmingham, Alabama.

The driver of the stolen vehicle reportedly entered I-59 NB near Trussville and continued onto I-459 before the chase ultimately came to a halt in the 2100 block of Blue Ridge Road in Hoover. Multiple people fled from the vehicle at the end of the pursuit, with the Birmingham Police Department (BPD) confirming that one person of interest was detained for further questioning.
