Stolen Vehicle Pursuit Ends with Injuries on Taft Bridge

U.S. Park Police pursued a confirmed stolen vehicle on Rock Creek Parkway Saturday evening. After exiting the parkway and entering oncoming traffic, the vehicle struck a moped operator and later a diplomat vehicle before the suspects fled on foot and were quickly apprehended. The moped rider was critically injured and transported to a area hospital, while three suspects and one diplomat-vehicle occupant were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The Metropolitan Police Department is leading the investigation, with an internal Park Police review to follow; no officers were injured.
