PHOENIX — Several people, including two children, are hurt after a woman being pursued by police crashed her vehicle in Phoenix on Saturday.
Phoenix police say their officers were in the area of 35th and Southern avenues on an unrelated call when their vehicle was reportedly rammed by another vehicle.
Officials say the officers pursued the vehicle after it failed to stop after the accident.
That driver eventually crashed into three other vehicles near 67th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.
Police say "several" people were taken to a hospital after the crash, including two children. Their conditions are not clear.
The woman driving the pursued vehicle was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
She has been identified through court paperwork as Esmeralda Galindo Monje.
No officers were hurt in the initial crash.
Following an investigation, Monje was arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault, aggravated DUI, misconduct involving weapons, possession of a narcotic drug, aggravated assault on a police officer, and more.
