WEST VALLEY CITY — Two people were injured and are now in stable condition after one of them drove a suspected stolen vehicle into another car Tuesday night.

At approximately 8:50 p.m., police spotted a vehicle that had been reported stolen, according to the West Valley City Police Department.

A public safety helicopter reportedly monitored the vehicle from above, alongside unmarked police vehicles. Police said the vehicle stopped near 1100 W. 500 North in Salt Lake City, and the occupants got out.

“Officers approached the occupants of the vehicle and they fled on foot,” police said in a post on X.  “The driver, however, got back into the car and fled the scene.”


Officers did not follow the vehicle, police said. Instead, the helicopter monitored the stolen car from above.

Near 900 W. 300 North, the suspect in the stolen vehicle collided with the other, seriously injuring both drivers.

Police did not say whether the people who fled on foot were able to be located.
