ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Two women were arrested Monday evening after police said they led officers on a chase involving a stolen car.
According to the Rochester Police Department, the vehicle they were in was reportedly robbed on South Avenue earlier in the day. When officers later located the car on Lyell Avenue and tried to conduct a traffic stop, police said the driver instead took off.
One of the pursuing patrol cars was eventually involved in a crash around St. Paul Street and Cumberland Street, leaving the driver of the car hit hospitalized. The two officers inside the patrol car were uninjured.
The pursuit ended up going through the East side of the city, where we’re told the driver finally stopped in the Trinidad parking lot of the Public Market.
