EVANSTON, Wyo -- At least five police agencies pursued two suspects who fled from Summit County authorities on Thursday evening, according to Wyoming Highway Patrol. WHP said they were contacted by Utah's Summit County Sheriff's Office about a chase in progress that was headed toward Evanston, Wyoming. The suspect was driving a maroon Dodge Charger and traveling eastbound on Interstate 80. WHP troopers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle for a moving violation, but the suspect kept driving at speeds over 160 mph.
