Authorities searched for the suspect who fled the scene after a police chase ended with a crash on I-20 Wednesday afternoon.

A trooper attempted to stop a Dodge Charger for reckless driving around 4:50 p.m. on I-20 at McDaniel Street when the driver refused to stop, the Georgia State Patrol said. While fleeing the scene, the Charger hit a Nissan Rogue, which overturned on I-20 westbound, east of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The driver then fled on foot.

The two people in the Nissan were transported to a hospital and are in stable condition, GSP said.

Atlanta police and troopers searched for the suspect near I-20 and Westview, but did not locate anyone.

All lanes of I-20 were reopened by 6:30 p.m.
