Two other people from inside the car fled on foot following the crash. Police were able to catch up with one of the men not far from a Twin Peaks restaurant located nearby. That man was taken into police custody. Authorities said the second person escaped however by running through a Target department store and out the back door before jumping a fence into a neighborhood.
The person trapped inside the vehicle was taken to University Hospital for his injuries. His name, age, and condition are not currently known.
At this time it unclear why the men originally fled and if any of them will face any charges.
