MINNEAPOLIS — A motorist hit several vehicles, including a Minnesota State Patrol squad car, during a police chase on Interstate 94 Wednesday afternoon.

The state patrol says the pursuit started around 4:20 p.m. after the motorist failed to stop for a trooper in the area of I-94 and Cretin Avenue in St. Paul. 

Authorities say the chase ended when the motorist crashed into a fence at the Riverside Avenue exit. The driver, identified as a male, and a passenger were taken into custody shortly after attempting to run from the crash.

Several police cars could be seen surrounding the exit following the crash.
