A high-speed chase on I-5 ended in a crash and an arrest.
Washington State Patrol troopers stated, via X, that a 28-year-old Burien man was driving a stolen car, speeding up to 130 miles an hour early Friday morning.
Troopers tried to deploy spike strips several times, but the driver kept exiting to avoid them.
The chase ended near the Steilacoom-DuPont Road exit just before 3 a.m., when the car crossed all lanes and slammed into a semi-truck.
Both drivers suffered minor injuries. The suspect faces DUI, felony eluding, and vehicle theft charges.
