The chase began around 6 a.m. after the owner of the truck spotted it pulling into a rest area. When a state trooper later approached the vehicle, the two occupants drove away.
The suspects only made it about a quarter-mile before crashing into a ditch near Enchanted Parkway. They are now being tracked by a King County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit.
